An Act relative to protections for good samaritans

This bill expands legal protections for individuals acting in good faith to assist others with controlled substances. It allows people to use testing products like fentanyl test strips to check for harmful chemicals without fear of prosecution for possession. Additionally, it shields those who clinically monitor substance use to prevent overdoses and disease transmission from arrest, civil penalties, and professional disciplinary actions. The law specifically excludes supplies obtained through public health programs from these protections.
