An Act relative to drug induced homicide

This bill creates a new crime called drug-induced homicide, which allows prosecutors to charge individuals with up to life in prison if they knowingly distribute Class A controlled substances that result in a death. It includes a provision protecting people from prosecution if they seek medical help for an overdose in good faith without intent to defraud. The legislation also establishes a permanent commission made up of government officials, legal experts, and community members to oversee the law's implementation, review convictions, and ensure sentencing remains flexible without mandatory minimums. This commission will meet regularly to assess the law's effectiveness and provide recommendations for improvements to the governor and other state leaders.
