Bill > H1472

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 94C, Section 32E of the Massachusetts General Laws, which deals with controlled substances, by adding a new provision that specifically addresses heroin trafficking that leads to a user's death. Under this proposed change, individuals found guilty of such an offense would face penalties as outlined in Chapter 265, Section 13 of the Massachusetts General Laws, which typically involves more severe punishments for crimes resulting in death. This amendment aims to increase the severity of consequences for those involved in heroin trafficking when their actions directly cause a fatality.
