Summary
The bill makes it a Class A felony for anyone who distributes a Schedule I or II drug, knowing it is mixed with another controlled substance, if a death results. It also bars the defense that the victim’s own use or consent caused the death. The measure targets drug dealers and seeks to increase accountability for lethal drug mixtures.
