What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill decriminalizes the use of fentanyl testing strips to test a substance for

the presence of fentanyl. Under current law, fentanyl testing strips are considered

drug paraphernalia, and it is a felony for any person to use or possess with intent to

use drug paraphernalia. The bill excepts fentanyl testing strips from the definition

of “drug paraphernalia.”
