Summary

The bill directs the North Carolina Collaboratory to launch a pilot that supplies participating law‑enforcement agencies with advanced, non‑color‑based field drug detectors. The program will track how the devices affect arrests, officer safety, case outcomes, and costs, and will compare pilot counties to non‑pilot areas. Its purpose is to improve testing accuracy, reduce false arrests, and better address synthetic drug threats.
