Requires hospital urine drug screenings to include test for fentanyl.

This bill requires all general acute care hospitals in New Jersey to add fentanyl testing to urine drug screenings used for diagnosing patient conditions. Currently, these screenings typically test for drugs like cocaine and some opioids but not fentanyl, which is a powerful synthetic opioid often mixed into other drugs and causes accidental overdoses. The law takes effect immediately but expires on January 1, 2028, aiming to help hospitals identify fentanyl exposure and provide timely treatment.
