Subject: | Increasing Penalties for Fentanyl Distribution Involving Minors |
We plan to introduce legislation that will establish a separate chargeable offense for fentanyl distribution involving minors. This bill will be similar to legislation recently signed into law in Florida that increases penalties and provides for a Pennsylvania Public Safety Sentence on those who sell, traffic, or manufacture fentanyl if a minor is involved. This legislation will establish a Pennsylvania Public Safety Sentence of no less than 20 years and no more than 40 years. Please join us in co-sponsoring this important legislation protecting Pennsylvania's minors. |
Introduced as SB1030
