A bill for an act authorizing court-required drug testing for a parent pursuant to a custody order.

This bill allows Iowa courts to require drug testing for parents as part of custody orders when it serves a child's best interests. Parents ordered to test must pay for it, and test results remain confidential except for those involved in the custody case. If a parent fails a test, the court can modify custody arrangements to better protect the child. The law does not specify testing frequency or duration, leaving those decisions to the court's discretion. It applies directly to parents in custody disputes where drug use is a concern.
