Concerning endangerment with a controlled substance.

HB 1968 makes it a crime to knowingly expose a child or dependent adult to fentanyl, synthetic opioids, or methamphetamine precursors (like ephedrine or anhydrous ammonia). It specifically targets situations where a caregiver allows a vulnerable person to come into contact with these substances, excluding medical use. The law exempts child welfare workers and their staff from criminal liability under this provision, and violations would be charged as a class B felony. This bill directly affects parents, guardians, and caregivers who endanger vulnerable individuals through substance exposure.
