narcotic drugs; death; sentence enhancement

SB 1621 increases penalties for certain drug offenses in Arizona, specifically targeting fentanyl sales and drug-related deaths. It mandates minimum prison sentences of 5 years (up to 15) for selling fentanyl in amounts of 200 grams or more, and 15 years (up to 25) if the sale contributes to another person's death. The bill also prohibits probation or suspended sentences for these offenses until the full term is served, and requires a minimum $2,000 fine or three times the drug's value. It directly affects individuals convicted of selling narcotics under these specific circumstances, particularly fentanyl distributors and those whose actions cause fatalities.
