Fentanyl delivery resulting in death; extend repealer on Parker's Law creating the crime of.

HB 967 extends Parker's Law's expiration date from July 1, 2028, to a later date (though the bill text retains 2028 as the sunset), maintaining Mississippi's criminal penalty for delivering fentanyl that causes death. The law imposes 20+ years to life imprisonment for knowingly selling fentanyl resulting in death, while exempting individuals who seek medical help for overdoses or share fentanyl with friends (not for profit). It clarifies the law targets sellers profiting from fentanyl, not users sharing with others, and requires annual reports on convictions. The bill died in committee on March 4, 2025, after passing the House and Senate earlier that year.
