This bill amends the Public Health Code of Michigan, specifically sections 7401, 7410, and 7417, while also adding new sections 7410b and 7417a. The amendments primarily focus on the penalties associated with the manufacture, delivery, and possession of controlled substances, particularly those classified as heroin, fentanyl, and carfentanil. Notably, the bill introduces stricter penalties for individuals who deliver or possess these substances with intent to deliver to minors, with imprisonment terms ranging from 5 to life without eligibility for parole, depending on the amount and type of substance involved. Additionally, the bill clarifies the definitions of "school property" and "library" and establishes new penalties for selling products containing these dangerous substances without proper disclosure.

Furthermore, the bill emphasizes the importance of transparency in the sale of products containing controlled substances, mandating that sellers must disclose the presence of heroin, fentanyl, or carfentanil in their products. Violations of this requirement carry a felony charge with a mandatory imprisonment term of 10 years, which must be served consecutively with any other sentences related to the sale of the product. The bill aims to enhance public health and safety by imposing stricter regulations and penalties on the distribution of harmful substances, particularly to vulnerable populations such as minors.
