Bill > SB0399

This bill modifies the definition of "drug paraphernalia" in Michigan's Public Health Code by expanding the existing definition and adding a new exception. The bill maintains the original comprehensive list of items considered drug paraphernalia, which includes equipment specifically designed for cultivating, processing, testing, and using controlled substances, such as isomerization devices, testing equipment, weight scales, diluents, separation gins, ingestion devices, cultivation kits, and various specific tools like cocaine kits, "bullets" for controlled substance delivery, and specialized concealment devices. The key change is the addition of a new subsection that explicitly excludes testing products used to determine the presence of dangerous chemicals, toxic substances, or hazardous compounds in controlled substances, specifically mentioning fentanyl testing strips as an example. This modification suggests an intent to support harm reduction efforts by allowing tools that can help individuals identify potentially lethal substances, while maintaining strict regulations on other types of drug-related equipment.
