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 introduces a new subsection (2) that clarifies that "drug paraphernalia" does not encompass testing products used to determine the presence of harmful chemicals in controlled substances, explicitly mentioning fentanyl testing strips as an example.

Additionally, the bill makes several grammatical adjustments, such as changing "which" to "that" in various instances for clarity. The overall intent of the bill is to refine the legal language surrounding drug paraphernalia while ensuring that essential testing products are not classified as such, thereby promoting safety and harm reduction.
