Prepared by: Criminal Justice Committee (CJ)
The bill amends. s. 893.145, F.S., the drug paraphernalia statute, to exclude from the definition of “drug paraphernalia” narcotic-drug-testing products that are used solely to determine whether a controlled substance contains fentanyl, fentanyl-related compounds, derivatives, and analogs, and mixtures containing any of these substances. This exclusion does not apply to a narcotic-drug-testing product that can measure or determine the quantity, weight, or potency of a controlled substance.
If approved by the Governor, or allowed to become law without the Governor’s signature, these provisions take effect July 1, 2023.
