New Drug Testing Law

In today’s world, ensuring personal safety in social settings is more important than ever. One of the growing concerns is the risk of tampered drinks, commonly associated with drug-facilitated sexual assault, date-rape drugs, such as GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyric acid) or roofies (Rohypnol). GHB tests and roofie drug tests are essential tools for spiked drink testing.

According to the newly passed Assembly Bill 1013, establishments with a Type 48 license are required to offer drug testing devices, free or at a price not exceeding a reasonable amount based on the wholesale cost, for detecting controlled substances in a drink and must prominently display a signage notifying patrons that drug testing kits are available with the following: “Don’t get roofied! Drink spiking drug test kits available here. Ask a staff member for details.”

In Section 1. Section 25624, the following definitions apply:
(1)    “Drug testing devices” means test strips, stickers, straws, and other devices designed to detect the presence of controlled substances in a drink.
(2)    “Controlled substances” includes, but is not limited to, flunitrazepam, ketamine, and gamma hydroxybutyric acid, also known as GHB, gamma hydroxybutyrate, 4-hydroxybutyrate, 4-hydroxybutanoic acid, sodium oxybate, and sodium oxybutyrate.
