An act relating to screening for fentanyl during a hospital-administered urine drug screening

This bill requires Vermont hospitals to include fentanyl testing in any urine drug screening conducted to diagnose a patient's condition. It directly affects licensed hospitals and their patients, mandating that fentanyl be tested alongside other drugs during standard diagnostic screenings. The bill also prohibits hospitals from sharing fentanyl screening results with law enforcement without a warrant or subpoena, and provides legal immunity for hospitals following this rule. The requirement takes effect July 1, 2026.
