What A 1034 does, verified March 6, 2026

The bill aims to amend the General Business Law to include masking products within the definition of drug-related paraphernalia. This change will broaden the scope of objects considered drug-related paraphernalia, making it easier to prosecute individuals involved in the sale or distribution of controlled substances. The bill specifically adds "masking products" to the list, which includes synthetic urine and substances designed to be added to human urine to deceive chemical tests. This amendment will take effect immediately.
