西弗吉尼亚州通过法案处理与严酷芬太尼有关的犯罪,可判处15年以下监禁。 West Virginia passes bill to harshen fentanyl-related offenses, allowing up to 15 years in prison.

西弗吉尼亚众议院通过了《第2437号众议院法案》,加大了对与芬太尼有关的犯罪的处罚力度。 The West Virginia House of Delegates passed House Bill 2437, enhancing penalties for fentanyl-related offenses. 该法案取消了证明明知芬太尼的存在可加重判刑的要求,目的是阻止主要类阿片的分发。 The bill removes the requirement to prove knowledge of fentanyl's presence for increased sentencing, aiming to deter the distribution of the potent opioid. 定罪可能导致最高15年的徒刑和最高25 000美元的罚款,如果芬太尼与其他毒品结合使用,将加重处罚。 Convictions could lead to sentences of up to 15 years and fines up to $25,000, with harsher penalties if fentanyl is combined with other drugs. 该法案的有效性和对药物使用紊乱的影响是辩论的主题。 The bill's effectiveness and impact on substance use disorders are subjects of debate.
