House Bill 113, sponsored by Lamberth, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 39-17-402, specifically regarding the testing equipment used to detect the presence of synthetic opioids. The bill removes the provision that states, "This subdivision (12)(B)(ii) is repealed on July 1, 2025," thereby extending the validity of this section indefinitely.

The act is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the current regulations surrounding synthetic opioid testing in Tennessee. This change aims to ensure that law enforcement and relevant agencies continue to have the necessary tools to address the ongoing challenges posed by synthetic opioids.
