Summary

The bill amends Penal Code §1192.7 to list knowingly giving fentanyl or its analogs to a minor as a serious felony. This classification triggers a ban on plea bargaining for such cases and adds the offense to the list of crimes that do not require state reimbursement to local agencies. It aims to strengthen penalties for drug distribution to youths.
