Bill > SB2372

This bill expands the existing law concerning the adulteration of food, liquids, or pharmaceuticals to specifically include the act of adding substances with the intent to cause involuntary intoxication, which is defined as becoming drunk or drugged without one's consent. Under this new provision, intentionally causing involuntary intoxication through adulteration is classified as a Class D felony, a serious crime punishable by imprisonment. The bill also clarifies that intentionally causing bodily injury through adulteration is a Class C felony, and intentionally causing serious bodily injury or death is a Class B felony, reflecting the escalating severity of harm. This legislation aims to address and deter the dangerous practice of secretly drugging individuals through contaminated products.
