The bill amends the Uniform Controlled Substances Act to establish stricter penalties for the possession of certain quantities of fentanyl and its analogs. It introduces new legal language specifying that possession of one ounce (1 oz.) to one kilogram (1 kg.) of a mixture or substance containing at least ten percent (10%) of fentanyl or its analogs is punishable by up to fifty years imprisonment. Additionally, possession of more than one kilogram (1 kg.) of such substances would result in a potential life sentence.
The act takes effect immediately upon passage.
