Bill > S1095

This bill establishes stricter penalties for individuals who knowingly or intentionally manufacture, distribute, or provide Class A controlled substances that result in a death, with a potential sentence of up to life in prison. It also provides an exemption from these penalties for individuals who in good faith seek medical assistance for someone experiencing a Class A controlled substance overdose. Additionally, the bill creates a permanent commission to oversee the effectiveness of drug-induced homicide laws, ensure there is no prejudice in charging or sentencing, and provide treatment options for individuals suffering from substance use disorder, with the commission required to report on its findings and recommendations annually.
