Bill overview
This bill, the Preventing Overdoses with Test Strips Act, aims to increase access to tools that can detect dangerous substances like fentanyl and xylazine in drugs. It modifies existing legislation to specifically allow grant programs to cover the costs of purchasing or using adulterant substance detection devices, such as test strips. By clarifying this coverage, the bill seeks to help communities and individuals identify potentially harmful drugs before they are used, ultimately reducing overdose deaths. The bill expands upon the 21st Century Cures Act and the Public Health Service Act to achieve this goal.
