AI Summary
This bill aims to provide protections for "good samaritans" who assist others by providing, administering, or utilizing controlled substance testing products, such as fentanyl test strips, to determine whether a controlled substance contains harmful chemicals, toxins, or hazardous compounds. The bill would exempt these individuals from being charged or prosecuted for possession of a controlled substance if the evidence for the charge was gained as a result of providing this assistance.
