This bill makes clear that it is not a crime under federal law to have, sell, buy, ship, import, or export equipment used to test whether a drug contains fentanyl or xylazine. It changes the Controlled Substances Act so these testing tools are not treated like illegal “drug paraphernalia.” The goal is to help people and communities quickly check drugs for these dangerous substances and prevent overdoses.

Key points:

Who is affected: People, health workers, harm-reduction groups, and sellers who use or provide fentanyl or xylazine testing equipment.
What changes: Possessing, selling, buying, transporting, importing, or exporting this testing equipment is not unlawful under the Controlled Substances Act.
When: This is a proposed change; it would take effect if the bill becomes law.
