Bill > SB6

This bill amends Georgia Code Section 26-3-22 to authorize the use of drug analysis equipment to determine whether a controlled substance or its packaging has been adulterated. Specifically, the bill modifies existing law to clarify that drug analysis equipment used for identifying potential adulteration of controlled substances will not be considered a "drug related object" under Georgia's legal definitions. The change removes language specifically mentioning synthetic opioids and broadens the scope of permissible testing equipment. The bill maintains that this amendment is cumulative and supplemental to existing laws related to drugs, including the Dangerous Drug Act and the Georgia Controlled Substances Act. By explicitly allowing such testing equipment, the legislation provides legal clarity for law enforcement, medical professionals, and others who may need to analyze controlled substances for potential contamination or adulterants.
