Fentanyl possession

AN ACT Relating to the possession of fentanyl; amending RCW 1
69.50.4013, 9.94A.518, and 13.40.0357; creating a new section; 2
prescribing penalties; and declaring an emergency. 3
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:4
NEW SECTION. Sec. 1. The Washington state legislature 5
recognizes the escalating crisis of fentanyl use, a concern 6
underscored by alarming data and impacts in communities across the 7
state. According to recent department of health statistics, opioid 8
overdoses have risen dramatically since 2018, with fentanyl now being 9
the most prevalent cause of opioid-related fatalities. Preliminary 10
data suggests there were 662 synthetic opioid overdose deaths during 11
the first quarter of 2024 in Washington state, a near record high.12
The intent of this act is to address the public health emergency 13
posed by fentanyl by prioritizing public safety. By categorizing the 14
possession of fentanyl as a felony, the legislature aims to deter its 15
illegal distribution and use. This approach seeks to reduce the 16
availability of fentanyl on the streets and curb the associated 17
harms, including addiction, overdose, and death. 18
Sec. 2. RCW 69.50.4013 and 2024 c 9 s 2 are each amended to read 19
as follows: 20
