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 isomerization devices, testing equipment, weight scales, and specific kits for manufacturing or processing controlled substances.

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 promote safety by allowing individuals to test substances for potentially dangerous components without the risk of being penalized for possessing drug paraphernalia.
