LB 6 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Provide for a penalty enhancement for a controlled substances violation resulting in serious bodily injury or death

LB 6 would increase penalties for individuals convicted of drug offenses that cause serious injury or death under Nebraska's controlled substances law. Currently, penalties depend on the drug type and quantity, but this bill adds a mandatory enhancement when a violation results in serious bodily injury or death. The change would apply to offenses involving distribution, possession, or other violations listed in the Uniform Controlled Substances Act. This affects anyone convicted of a drug-related crime that directly causes harm to another person.
