(WMC) Mississippians will get the chance to voice their opinions about a law requiring welfare recipients to be drug tested.

The state law was supposed to take effect July 1, but was delayed after advocacy groups worried the new law might negatively affect poor families.

On Tuesday, the Mississippi Department of Human Services will hold hearings to get comments from Mississippians about the new welfare drug testing law.

The law states applicants for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or TANF, will have to answer a questionnaire. If the answers show the possibility of substance abuse, the person must take a drug test.
