An Act improving access to fentanyl test strips and other drug checking equipment

This Massachusetts bill amends state laws to legally allow individuals to buy, sell, and use fentanyl test strips and other drug checking equipment without fear of prosecution. By removing references to testing and analyzing from the definition of drug paraphernalia, the legislation explicitly exempts these tools from being classified as illegal items. The law also clarifies that possessing small amounts of drugs for the purpose of testing them is not a crime, while simultaneously defining drug supplies and harm reduction programs to ensure these activities are protected under the statute.
