Fentanyl Trafficking As Murder

Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill makes it first-degree murder to traffic or distribute fentanyl to another person if that person dies from using the drug. A person found guilty would face a mandatory thirty-year prison sentence. It would not be a defense if the deceased person willingly used the fentanyl.
