Bill overview
This bill amends federal law to treat the distribution of fentanyl that results in a death as felony murder. Specifically, it expands the definition of felony murder to include cases where fentanyl is distributed, and that distribution leads to a fatality. The bill also clarifies the definition of ‘distributing fentanyl’ to include specific quantities and analogues of the drug, and requires knowledge that the substance contains a dangerous amount of fentanyl. This aims to increase penalties for those involved in fatal fentanyl distribution.
