Enacts "Chelsey's law"; provides that a person commits the crime of manslaughter or aggravated manslaughter when such person knows or has reasonable grounds to know that a controlled substance is likely to cause the death of another person and sells, administers, delivers, or causes the delivery of a controlled substance to another person and such substance causes, contributes to, or aids in the death of such other person.

The bill, known as 'Chelsey's law,' makes it a crime for someone to sell or provide a controlled substance if they know it could likely cause someone's death. If that substance leads to a death, the person responsible could be charged with manslaughter or aggravated manslaughter. This law aims to hold individuals accountable for their role in drug-related fatalities.

Supporters of 'Chelsey's law' argue that it will help deter drug dealers from selling dangerous substances that can lead to fatal overdoses. They believe the law will save lives by imposing stricter penalties on those who knowingly distribute harmful drugs, thereby addressing the ongoing opioid crisis and protecting communities.

Critics of 'Chelsey's law' contend that it may disproportionately punish individuals who are already struggling with addiction or mental health issues. They argue that the law could lead to unintended consequences, such as discouraging people from seeking help in emergencies for fear of legal repercussions, ultimately harming public health efforts.
