The bill, S.B. No. 362, amends the Health and Safety Code by adding a new subsection to Section 481.125, which pertains to the use, possession, delivery, or manufacture of testing equipment that identifies substances listed in Penalty Group 1-B. The new legal language specifies that the provisions of this section do not apply to individuals who use, possess with intent to use, deliver, possess with intent to deliver, or manufacture with intent to deliver such testing equipment.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the changes in law will only apply to offenses committed on or after the effective date of the Act, which is set for September 1, 2025. Offenses that occurred prior to this date will be governed by the law in effect at that time, ensuring that the previous legal framework remains applicable for those cases.
