Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to controlled substances; providing for an enhanced penalty for controlled substance offenses related to the distribution or delivery of fentanyl to minors; making conforming amendments; providing definitions; and providing for an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill enhances penalties for distributing fentanyl to minors by creating a new subsection to existing law that specifically addresses this crime. Under this new provision, any person who is at least 18 years old and distributes fentanyl to someone under 18 years old will be guilty of a felony, facing penalties that can include fines and imprisonment up to twice the amount authorized for certain other controlled substances. The bill clarifies that "fentanyl" includes not only the drug itself but also its various chemical forms like isomers, esters, ethers, and their salts, providing a broad definition to cover related substances. This change aims to increase the severity of punishment for those who supply this dangerous drug to young people, building upon existing laws that already outline penalties for distributing controlled substances to individuals under 18.
