Drug Paraphernalia for Administration - Decriminalization

SB 370 removes criminal penalties for possessing or using drug paraphernalia (like syringes or containers) to administer controlled substances. It repeals laws that treated this as a criminal offense, replacing it with civil penalties limited to fines (up to $1,000 for first offenses) instead of jail time. The bill directly affects individuals who use or possess such items for drug administration, including those using syringes or packaging materials. Key changes include reducing maximum penalties, removing imprisonment options for most violations, and altering the legal definition of "controlled paraphernalia" to exclude common drug-use items.
