Serious felonies: furnishing fentanyl to a minor.

CA AB1667 is a proposed law that aims to increase penalties for serious felonies related to the act of providing fentanyl to minors. This bill seeks to amend existing laws to ensure that those who furnish this dangerous drug to young people face harsher consequences. The goal is to better protect minors from the risks associated with fentanyl use.

Supporters of CA AB1667 would argue that this bill is a crucial step in combating the fentanyl crisis and protecting vulnerable youth. They would emphasize the importance of strict penalties to deter individuals from distributing harmful substances to minors, thereby promoting public safety and health.

Critics of CA AB1667 might contend that increasing penalties may not effectively address the root causes of drug distribution and addiction. They may argue that the bill could lead to over-criminalization and disproportionately affect certain communities, rather than providing the necessary support and resources for prevention and treatment.
