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 death. It includes a "Good Samaritan" provision that protects 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 various officials and community members to monitor the law's effectiveness, review convictions, and ensure sentencing remains flexible without mandatory minimums. This commission will meet regularly to report its findings and recommendations to state leaders and the judiciary.
