❌ HB305
Enact Logan's Law
Current Status: In House Committee (Judiciary)
Summary
HB305 establishes penalties for trafficking in pressed pill fentanyl, requiring a death certificate to indicate if a death is caused by fentanyl poisoning. It amends existing laws related to drug trafficking and specifies penalties based on the amount of the drug involved and the circumstances of the offense.
Rationale
The bill imposes strict penalties for drug trafficking, which conflicts with Libertarian principles advocating for personal liberty and the decriminalization of drug use. It also establishes mandatory minimum sentences, which the LPO opposes as an abuse of state power.
Risks and Concerns
- Increases government control over personal choices regarding drug use.
- Potential for overreach in law enforcement actions related to drug offenses.
- May lead to increased incarceration rates without addressing underlying issues.
