What’s in it
This bill relates to the criminal offense of manufacturing, delivering, selling, or possessing drug paraphernalia by exempting hypodermic needles or syringes delivered, sold, or possessed through an approved needle exchange program. Currently, a person who illegally manufactures, delivers, sells, or possesses drug paraphernalia commits a simple misdemeanor under Code section 124.414. Current law also provides that “drug paraphernalia” does not include hypodermic needles or syringes if manufactured, delivered, sold, or possessed for a lawful purpose. The bill specifies that “lawful purpose” includes hypodermic needles or syringes delivered, sold, or possessed through an approved needle exchange program established pursuant to rules adopted by the department of public health.
