This bill amends the South Carolina code of laws to add an offense for "Trafficking in Fentanyl".

The bill sets minimum prison sentences and fines for first and subsequent offenses. It also includes a provision to ensure that the repeal or amendment of any law does not affect pending actions or existing liabilities. The bill takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
