Synthetic opioid test rule ends July 2025

Beginning July 1, 2025, Tennessee repeals a rule on equipment used to test for synthetic opioids. After that date, courts and labs cannot rely on that specific statutory testing rule. The act is law as of March 24, 2025. This change mainly affects laboratories, prosecutors, and people in court, not most households.
