Bill Summary
Relative to trafficking carfentanil or any salt or derivative thereof. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Massachusetts Controlled Substances Act to regulate the drug Carfentanil, a highly potent opioid. Specifically, the bill adds Carfentanil, along with three related synthetic opioids (Acetyl fentanyl, furanyl fentanyl, and butryl fentanyl), to the list of controlled substances under the act. It also creates a new trafficking offense for Carfentanil, punishable by up to 20 years in state prison for possessing, manufacturing, or distributing 5 grams or more of Carfentanil or a mixture containing the drug. The goal of this bill is to address the growing public health threat posed by the proliferation of Carfentanil and other potent synthetic opioids in the Commonwealth.
