What the document says
“The activities carried out pursuant to section 1003(b)(4)(A) of the 21st Century Cures Act (42 U.S.C. 290ee-3a(b)(4)(A)) may include facilitating access to products used to prevent overdose deaths by detecting the presence of one or more substances, such as fentanyl and xylazine test strips, to the extent the purchase and possession of such products is consistent with Federal and State law.”
The section states that activities under section 1003(b)(4)(A) of the 21st Century Cures Act may include facilitating access to products that detect substances in drugs, naming fentanyl and xylazine test strips as examples, so far as buying and holding those products is consistent with Federal and State law.
What the document actually says
“The activities carried out pursuant to section 1003(b)(4)(A) of the 21st Century Cures Act (42 U.S.C. 290ee-3a(b)(4)(A)) may include facilitating access to products used to prevent overdose deaths by detecting the presence of one or more substances, such as fentanyl and xylazine test strips, to the extent the purchase and possession of such products is consistent with Federal and State law.”
That sentence, in plain words
The grant money can help people get test strips. The strips show if a drug holds fentanyl or xylazine. This holds only where the strips are legal to buy and keep.
What this is about
A test strip is a small paper strip. It changes color when a drug is present. Some States treat the strips as drug tools and bar them, so the rule turns on State law.

not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
