Test Strip Access Act of 2023
This bill amends the 21st Century Cures Act to allow states and tribes to use federal grant funds for fentanyl and xylazine test strips. It directly affects state and tribal programs receiving opioid response funding under the Cures Act, enabling them to cover these drug testing strips. The key provision adds "fentanyl or xylazine test strips" to the list of eligible items that can be purchased with existing grant money. This change makes it easier for local programs to access tools that detect dangerous opioids in illicit drugs, without creating new funding. The bill focuses on expanding current grant flexibility, not changing broader opioid policy.
