Abstract
This article reports new legal data on state syringe services program (SSP) and drug paraphernalia laws in the United States. Scientific legal mapping methods were used to develop a longitudinal legal dataset capturing state-level SSP and drug paraphernalia laws in effect from January 1, 2010, through June 1, 2024. During that period, the number of states with a legal mechanism allowing for syringe distribution from SSPs nearly doubled. However, legal barriers to SSP operations remain in many states.
