Bill > A01034

This bill amends the New York State General Business Law to expand the definition of drug-related paraphernalia to include masking products designed to interfere with chemical tests that detect alcohol or drug content in bodily fluids. Specifically, the bill adds a new category to the existing definition of drug-related paraphernalia that encompasses synthetic urine, human urine, and substances intended to be added to urine or chemical tests with the purpose of fraudulently altering test results. This means that products like synthetic urine kits or chemical additives meant to manipulate drug or alcohol screening tests would now be legally classified as paraphernalia. The change is aimed at preventing individuals from attempting to conceal drug or alcohol use by tampering with chemical testing procedures. The amendment becomes effective immediately upon enactment, providing law enforcement and legal systems with a broader framework to address attempts to circumvent chemical testing.
