Bill overview
This bill increases the penalties for manufacturing, distributing, or dispensing certain Schedule I and II controlled dangerous substances in New Jersey. It amends existing law to raise the degree of crime associated with possessing or distributing these substances, particularly focusing on drugs like fentanyl. The bill aims to align penalties more closely with those for heroin, addressing disparities in punishment and potentially reducing the incentive for illicit drug activity. It also increases the maximum fines associated with certain offenses.
