SD 754 Massachusetts Senate · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to fentanyl test strips

This bill amends Massachusetts law to explicitly allow the use of fentanyl test strips. It removes fentanyl test strips from restrictions on "testing equipment" in Chapter 94C and adds new legal protection for anyone who provides, administers, or uses these strips in good faith. The law shields such individuals from criminal, civil, or professional disciplinary action, except in cases of gross negligence or intentional misconduct. This directly affects harm reduction programs, healthcare providers, and community organizations distributing or using fentanyl test strips.
