Protection to children and vulnerable adults from exposure to fentanyl establishment
This bill (SF 456) prohibits individuals from engaging in methamphetamine-related activities or exposing children and vulnerable adults to methamphetamine, fentanyl, or related substances in specific locations. It bans manufacturing meth, storing chemicals or meth waste, or allowing exposure to these substances in places where children or vulnerable adults might be present - such as homes, public buildings, or overnight accommodations. Violations would be subject to criminal penalties under amended Minnesota Statutes. The bill’s title mentions "fentanyl," but the text specifically targets methamphetamine activities while including fentanyl exposure as a prohibited act (section 1.19). It directly affects anyone in settings where children or vulnerable adults could be present.
