Bill Summary
Relative to the destruction and disposal of fentanyl. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law to require that any controlled substance confirmed as fentanyl, after the required chemical analysis, be delivered to the state police department to be destroyed or disposed of in a lawful manner. The analysis must be performed by a state police chemist or a chemist at the University of Massachusetts medical school, who will issue a signed certificate, under oath, confirming the seized substance as fentanyl. This certificate will serve as prima facie evidence of the composition and quality of the fentanyl when introduced in a grand jury or court proceeding in the Commonwealth.
