Test Strip Access Act of 2025

This bill clarifies that federal opioid response grants can be used for programs that involve fentanyl and xylazine test strips. It amends the 21st Century Cures Act so states and Tribes can use these grants to support substance use disorder and overdose prevention activities connected to these test strips.

In short, it aims to make it easier for communities to use existing funds to help prevent overdoses by detecting dangerous drugs before they are used. The bill’s short title is the Test Strip Access Act of 2025.

• Who is affected: State and Tribal governments, health programs, and people at risk of overdose.
• What changes: Grants can explicitly be used for prevention efforts tied to fentanyl and xylazine test strips.
• When: Takes effect after becoming law (the text focuses on authorizing use; no specific dates provided).
