Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to controlled substances; establishing and revising the penalties for certain offenses involving fentanyl or carfentanil; providing penalties; and providing other matters properly relating thereto.
AI Summary
This bill establishes and revises the penalties for certain offenses involving fentanyl and carfentanil. Specifically, it prohibits the unauthorized sale of fentanyl or carfentanil or the possession of these substances for the purpose of sale, and sets forth penalties that are greater than those for the unlawful sale or possession of other controlled substances classified in Schedule I or II. The penalties vary depending on the quantity of fentanyl or carfentanil involved, as well as whether the offender sold it while representing it as another substance and the resulting harm or death to the person. The bill also adds references to these new provisions in other sections of law so that violations are treated similarly to certain other crimes involving the unlawful sale or possession of controlled substances for the purpose of sale.
