Test Strip Access Act of 2025
This bill amends the 21st Century Cures Act to explicitly include fentanyl and xylazine test strips in grant funding for state and tribal programs addressing opioid use disorders. It directly affects state and tribal health agencies that receive federal grants under this program by expanding eligibility to cover these specific test strips. The key provision adds "fentanyl or xylazine test strips" to the list of approved items that grant funds may support, ensuring these critical tools for detecting dangerous substances are included in funding. The change updates existing grant language without creating new requirements or altering program administration.
