Bill > S0153

This bill amends the South Carolina Code of Laws to add an offense for "trafficking in fentanyl" and define necessary terms. It establishes penalties for the possession and trafficking of fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances, including mandatory minimum prison sentences and fines. The bill also provides presumptive weights for possession with intent to distribute fentanyl or fentanyl-related substances. Additionally, it specifies that the term "drug paraphernalia" does not include rapid fentanyl test strips or other testing equipment used to determine if a substance contains fentanyl or its analogues.
