The bill amends the Public Health Code by updating the definition of "drug paraphernalia" in section 7451. It specifies that drug paraphernalia includes various equipment and materials designed for activities related to controlled substances, such as planting, cultivating, and ingesting. The bill also clarifies that the term encompasses a wide range of items, including devices for measuring, testing, and consuming controlled substances, as well as kits for growing or manufacturing them.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new provision that exempts certain testing products from the definition of drug paraphernalia. Specifically, it states that "drug paraphernalia" does not include testing products used to determine the presence of harmful chemicals or substances in controlled substances, such as fentanyl testing strips. This change aims to differentiate between items intended for illicit drug use and those designed for safety and harm reduction.
