identification of chemical substances, and safety precautions, such
as safe handling, storage, and disposal of toxic substances,
necessary to investigate clandestine laboratories illegally
manufacturing controlled substances.
(b) Make safety equipment, such as protective clothing and
breathing apparatus, available to local law enforcement officials, as
needed, on a case-by-case basis in connection with investigation and

analysts to monitor the overall pattern and network of these
clandestine laboratories across the state, to develop further cases,
and to target law enforcement efforts where needed.
