Effects of this bill
If this bill passes, it means that:
People can apply to the Secretary for fixed premises or mobile pill testing licences.
Licences last for 2 years; the Secretary can revoke them earlier.
The Secretary must refuse a licence if the applicant or their associate has certain criminal convictions.
Licence holders must have procedures to check if a person seeking a service is a minor; these procedures must govern how information about minors is handled.
Licence holders can destroy substances after they have been tested.
Drug and medicine laws cannot be used to stop activities authorised under these licences.
