Serious felonies: furnishing fentanyl to a minor.

CA SB432 aimed to make it a serious felony to provide fentanyl to a minor. This bill sought to increase penalties for those who would endanger young people by supplying them with this dangerous drug. Ultimately, the bill did not pass in the legislature.

Supporters of CA SB432 would argue that the bill was a necessary step to protect minors from the dangers of fentanyl, a potent and often deadly substance. They would emphasize the importance of strict penalties to deter individuals from targeting vulnerable youth with harmful drugs.

Critics of CA SB432 might claim that the bill was an overreach that could lead to disproportionate penalties for individuals involved in non-violent drug offenses. They may argue that focusing on punitive measures does not address the root causes of drug addiction and could further complicate the lives of young people rather than help them.
