HB448

Mississippi HB448 excludes hypodermic syringes from the definition of paraphernalia under the Uniform Controlled Substances Law.

Mississippi HB448 amends the definition of "paraphernalia" under the Uniform Controlled Substances Law to exclude hypodermic syringes. This change aims to clarify that hypodermic syringes are not considered paraphernalia when used for legitimate medical purposes, potentially impacting how such items are regulated and prosecuted. The bill specifies that paraphernalia includes equipment and materials used in planting, manufacturing, and distributing controlled substances, but explicitly excludes hypodermic syringes from this definition.
