An Act To Amend Section 41-29-105, Mississippi Code Of 1972, To Exclude Hypodermic Syringes From The Definition Of The Term "paraphernalia" As Used In The Uniform Controlled Substances Law; And For Related Purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Uniform Controlled Substances Law in Mississippi to exclude hypodermic syringes from the definition of "paraphernalia," which refers to equipment or materials used in connection with controlled substances. Previously, hypodermic syringes, needles, and other objects used for injecting controlled substances were explicitly listed as paraphernalia. This change means that possessing a hypodermic syringe alone will no longer be considered drug paraphernalia under this law.
