A bill that would let political candidates post the results of voluntary drug tests on a state Web site could get a final vote in the Senate today.
Sen. Harvey Peeler wanted to require drug testing for candidates after the state’s former treasurer, Thomas Ravenel, was indicted on a drug charge.
In mid-March 2008, Ravenel was sentenced to 10 months in prison after pleading guilty to a cocaine charge last September.
There are questions about whether the drug testing measure could survive legal challenges.
