This bill proposes updates to Arizona Revised Statutes Section 13-3408, specifically regarding drug offenses related to fentanyl. The current law specifies that if a person is convicted of selling or possessing fentanyl in amounts of at least two hundred grams, they face certain sentencing guidelines. The bill amends this by changing the threshold amount from "two hundred grams" to "one hundred grams" for both sales and possession offenses, thereby increasing the severity of penalties for these drug offenses.
Additionally, the bill modifies the language for clarity by changing "paragraphs" to "paragraph" in references to the specific subsections of the law. These changes aim to streamline the legal language and ensure that the penalties for fentanyl-related offenses are more stringent, reflecting the seriousness of the drug's impact on public health and safety.
