What changed in the latest version
15 added · 13 removedPlain-language change summary
The amendments to Bill SB 92 included specific adjustments around how individuals convicted of certain drug offenses are treated under the law. The updated language clarifies that the previous sections do not apply to individuals convicted in cases where both they and the deceased intended to use a controlled substance together. This change is significant because it aims to address situations where individuals may face severe penalties for drug-related incidents involving another party, potentially reducing unjust punishments for people in these tragic circumstances.
