Generally revise laws related to dangerous drugs

This bill revises Montana's dangerous drug laws by updating penalties for criminal distribution and possession with intent to distribute. It directly affects individuals who sell, share, or possess drugs with the intent to distribute them. The bill establishes stricter sentencing guidelines, including enhanced penalties for distributing fentanyl and other synthetic opioids, distributing drugs to minors, or using firearms during drug crimes. It also allows judges to impose fines in addition to prison sentences for certain serious offenses. Medical practitioners and their supervised agents remain exempt from these provisions.
