H.186 is a bill introduced by Representative Taylor of Milton that aims to amend the sentencing guidelines for individuals convicted of selling or dispensing a regulated drug that results in death. The primary purpose of the bill is to eliminate the court's discretion to impose a sentence of less than the mandatory two-year minimum prison term in such cases. This change is intended to ensure that individuals found guilty of this serious offense face a consistent and minimum level of punishment, reflecting the gravity of the crime.

The bill proposes to remove the language that currently allows for judicial discretion in sentencing, thereby reinforcing a stricter approach to drug-related offenses that lead to fatalities. By mandating a minimum sentence, the bill seeks to enhance accountability and deter future violations related to the sale or distribution of regulated drugs.
