La. Legislature Considers Bills To Toughen Fentanyl Sentences

The state legislature is considering two bills that aim to crack down on fentanyl dealers by creating stiffer penalties.

Rep. John Stefanski is the author a bill that would impose a life sentence without parole on anybody caught with a gram of fentanyl.

Stefanski is the co-author of another bill that would create a more tiered approach for fentanyl dealers.

Both bills will be up for discussion next week before a senate committee.
