Death Penalty for Dealing Fentanyl Act of 2023

This bill adds the death penalty as a possible punishment for individuals who knowingly distribute fentanyl and cause a death. It directly affects people convicted of distributing fentanyl under federal law when their actions result in a fatality. The key provision amends the Controlled Substances Act to require courts to consider the death penalty (or life imprisonment) alongside fines for such offenses. The law applies specifically to fentanyl distribution cases where a death occurs, not to general possession or other drug offenses.
