‘It’s going to save lives.’ Florida legalizes fentanyl test strips

Florida has legalized fentanyl test strips, allowing people to buy the inexpensive strips to detect the presence of the deadly substance.

“It’s such a good thing,” said state Rep. Christine Hunschofsky, D-Parkland. “We may never hear about the lives it saves, but it’s going to save lives.”

The legislation, sponsored by Hunschofsky and state Sen. Tina Polsky, D-Boca Raton, was signed into law Tuesday by Gov. Ron DeSantis. It goes into effect on Saturday.
