An act relating to screening for fentanyl during a hospital-administered urine drug screening

Summary

The bill requires any Vermont hospital that conducts a urine drug screen to help diagnose a patient to also test for fentanyl. It bars hospitals from sharing fentanyl results with law‑enforcement unless a valid warrant or subpoena is presented, while granting immunity for good‑faith disclosures. The goal is to improve detection of fentanyl exposure while protecting patient privacy.
