Bill overview
This bill, the TIME for Overdose Justice Act, aims to allow law enforcement to prosecute individuals involved in fatal or serious injury drug overdoses, even if a significant amount of time has passed since the incident. Currently, there are strict time limits on when drug-related charges can be brought. This legislation would remove those time limits for cases where a death or serious bodily injury resulted from the use of a controlled substance, allowing for potential justice in these tragic situations. It specifically addresses violations of the Controlled Substances Act.
