SB1159 is a bill that seeks to amend the definition of drug paraphernalia in Arizona Revised Statutes section 13-3415. The bill proposes to exclude testing equipment used for identifying or analyzing the strength, effectiveness, or purity of drugs from being classified as drug paraphernalia. This change would mean that such testing equipment would not be subject to the legal restrictions and penalties currently associated with drug paraphernalia under Arizona law.

The bill removes language that includes testing and analyzing equipment in the definition of drug paraphernalia and eliminates a specific clause that previously categorized certain testing equipment as paraphernalia, except for products used to determine the presence of fentanyl. The bill also makes conforming changes to the list of items considered drug paraphernalia, renumbering the subsections accordingly. If passed, the bill would become effective on the general effective date.
