A resolution to propose to the people of the State of California an amendment to the Constitution of the State, by adding Section 33 to Article I thereof, relating to controlled substances.

Existing law makes it a crime to possess for sale or purchase for purpose of sale, transport, import, sell, furnish, administer, give away, manufacture, compound, convert, produce, derive, process, or prepare various controlled substances, including, among others, fentanyl, peyote, and various other opiates and narcotics. This measure would require a criminal court to advise a person who is convicted of, or who pleads guilty or no contest to, the above-described crimes, as specified, of the danger of selling or administering illicit drugs and counterfeit pills and that, if a person dies as a result of that action, the defendant can be charged with homicide. The measure would require the court to read the advisory statement in a case in which the defendant exchanged a controlled substance containing fentanyl or its analogs for anything else of value, as specified. The measure would require the advisory statement to be included in a plea form, if used, and specified on the record. The measure would require that the fact the advisory was given be recorded in the abstract of conviction and would prohibit the advisement from being used as evidence in the prosecution of a minor in juvenile court.
