Bill Summary
Expands exemptions from drug paraphernalia laws to also exempt certain harm reduction supplies.
AI Summary
This bill expands exemptions from drug paraphernalia laws to also exempt certain "harm reduction supplies". Harm reduction supplies are defined as any materials or equipment used or intended to prevent, reduce, or mitigate the adverse effects associated with personal use of controlled substances, such as disease transmission and overdose. This includes items like naloxone (an opioid overdose reversal medication), fentanyl test strips, and other supplies provided by authorized harm reduction services programs. The bill removes language that previously considered certain testing equipment as drug paraphernalia, and specifies that objects used with cannabis in accordance with New Jersey's cannabis laws are presumed to be lawful cannabis paraphernalia.
