What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Test Strip Access Act of 2025," seeks to amend the 21st Century Cures Act. The primary goal is to expressly authorize the use of certain grants for substance use disorder and overdose prevention activities. Specifically, it aims to include the use of fentanyl and xylazine test strips in these activities. This change would be made by amending Section 1003(b)(4)(A) of the 21st Century Cures Act.
