Preventing Overdoses with Test Strips Act

This bill amends the 21st Century Cures Act and the Public Health Service Act to allow federal funds to cover the cost of test strips that detect dangerous contaminants like fentanyl and xylazine in drugs before use. It directly affects organizations receiving Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) grants, enabling them to use grant funds for purchasing or using these detection devices. The key provision redefines "adulterant substance detection device" to include test strips, making such devices eligible expenses under existing SAMHSA programs. This creates a concrete policy change by expanding access to harm reduction tools without altering drug laws or creating new programs.
