Felony Murder for Deadly Fentanyl Distribution Act of 2025

This bill amends federal murder law to treat distributing fentanyl that causes death as felony murder, directly affecting individuals who distribute fentanyl in specified quantities resulting in fatalities. It defines "distributing fentanyl" as distributing at least 2 grams of a mixture containing fentanyl or 0.5 grams of its analogues, knowing it contains the substance and causing death. The key provision adds a new felony murder category under Section 1111(b)(2), imposing the death penalty or life imprisonment for such acts. The bill explicitly ties the penalty to the specific fentanyl quantities and the causal link to death, without altering other murder definitions.
