AB 367: Controlled substances: enhancements.

Existing law imposes an additional and consecutive 3- or 5-year term in the state prison on a person who personally inflicts great bodily injury on a person in the commission of a felony, as specified.

This bill bill, until January 1, 2029, would state that, for purposes of the this enhancement, a person inflicts great bodily injury when they sell, furnish, administer, or give away a controlled substance fentanyl or an analog of fentanyl and the person to whom the substance was sold, furnished, administered, or given suffers a significant or substantial physical injury from using the substance. The bill would specify that this provision does not apply to juvenile offenders. By expanding the scope of an existing crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
