TO ADD THE CRIMINAL OFFENSE OF PRESCRIPTION DRUG HARM OR HOMICIDE.

Senate Bill 5 aims to establish a new criminal offense related to prescription drug harm or homicide. While the full text defining this offense is not provided, an amendment to the bill clarifies that a specific fund created by the bill "shall be used" for its intended purpose, rather than explicitly by the Attorney General. This bill would directly affect individuals involved in incidents leading to harm or death from prescription drugs. The bill died in the Senate Committee.
