Section 1.
Section 13A-6-30 is added to the Code of Alabama 1975, to read as follows:
§13A-6-30 (a) A person commits the crime of chemical endangerment of a first responder if he or she knowingly, recklessly, or intentionally causes or permits a first responder, as defined in Section 11-98-1, or a coroner or a deputy coroner, to be exposed to, to ingest or inhale, or to have contact with a Schedule I controlled substance, as provided in Section 20-2-23, or chemical substance, as defined in Section 26-15-2, or a mixture or combination thereof while performing his or her duties.
(b) For the purposes of this section, in addition to the definition contained in Section 13A-1-2, "serious physical injury" includes ingestion, inhalation, or contact with Page 1 HB230 Enrolled fentanyl, any mixture containing fentanyl, any synthetic controlled substance fentanyl, and any synthetic controlled substance fentanyl analogue as described in Sections 20-2-23 and 20-2-25.
(c)(1) Chemical endangerment of a first responder that causes physical injury is a Class C felony.
(2) Chemical endangerment of a first responder that causes serious physical injury is a Class B felony.
(3) Chemical endangerment of a first responder that results in the death of the first responder is a Class A felony.
Section 2.
Although this bill would have as its purpose or effect the requirement of a new or increased expenditure of local funds, the bill is excluded from further requirements and application under Section 111.05 of the Constitution of Alabama of 2022, because the bill defines a new crime or amends the definition of an existing crime.
Section 3.
This act shall become effective on the first day of the third month following its passage and approval by the Governor, or its otherwise becoming law.
