Bill Summary
Amends the Criminal Code of 2012. Provides that a person commits drug-induced homicide when he or she violates delivery of a controlled substance or methamphetamine or a similar law of another jurisdiction, by unlawfully delivering a controlled substance to another, and the injection, inhalation, absorption, or ingestion of any amount of that controlled substance is a contributing cause of the person's death.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Criminal Code of 2012 to expand the definition of "drug-induced homicide." The bill states that a person commits drug-induced homicide not only when their unlawful delivery of a controlled substance causes another person's death, but also when the use of the controlled substance is a contributing cause of the person's death. The bill applies this expanded definition to violations of Illinois' Controlled Substances Act or Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, as well as similar laws in other jurisdictions. The penalty for drug-induced homicide is a Class X felony, with additional mandatory minimum sentences if the violation involved certain controlled substances.
