An Act To Exempt From Fees Certain Services Performed By The Health And Environmental Testing Laboratory For Criminal Investigations

This bill requires the Health and Environmental Testing Laboratory to provide certain forensic tests without charge when conducted for criminal investigations. It specifically exempts testing for substance use, blood-alcohol levels, drug concentration, and analysis of suspected illegal drugs from fees. As a result, law enforcement agencies will no longer be billed for these services during criminal cases, ensuring immediate cost-free access to critical forensic analysis.
