Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill would change Kentucky law so that drug testing products, such as fentanyl test strips, are not treated as illegal drug paraphernalia. Currently, possessing these items can carry legal risk even when someone uses them to check whether a substance contains a dangerous or deadly chemical. The change would make it legal to use or carry these testing products without fear of criminal charges. Who it may affect: Kentuckians who use substances or work in harm reduction, as well as anyone who may come into contact with unknown substances and wants to test them for safety.
