PUNTA GORDA, Fla.–Gov. Ron DeSantis signed HB 95 on May 19, making it a capital offense for the drug dealer when a death results from the sale of fentanyl and methamphetamine and increasing penalties for trafficking.
“Someone dealing fentanyl is murdering people and they are going to go to prison in the state of Florida and that’s appropriate,” DeSantis said. With fentanyl, unlike some other drugs, “you don’t get a second chance.”
