Overview
This bill increases penalties for illegally manufacturing, distributing, or dispensing fentanyl in New Jersey. Specifically, it raises the degree of offenses based on the quantity of fentanyl involved, with a quantity of five ounces or more now considered a first-degree crime punishable by a significant prison term and fine. Lower quantities also trigger increased penalties compared to current law, including a maximum fine of $500,000 for certain offenses.
