SB 646: Drug Paraphernalia

SB 646 revises Florida's definition of "drug paraphernalia" to exclude specific drug-testing products, such as fentanyl test strips and reagent kits, that identify dangerous substances like fentanyl, fentanyl analogs, xylazine, cocaine, and methamphetamine. The bill explicitly removes criminal penalties for possessing, distributing, or using these testing tools, which the legislature states are evidence-based harm reduction strategies to prevent overdoses. It directly affects residents and communities by enabling access to life-saving information about illicit drugs before use. The change applies only to products designed solely to detect the presence of these specific substances - not to measure potency or quantity - and takes effect July 1, 2026.
