AI Summary

  • Amends Arizona Revised Statutes section 13-3401 to change the threshold amount for fentanyl and fentanyl mimetic substances from nine grams to one pill.

  • This change affects how fentanyl offenses are prosecuted, as the threshold amount determines when enhanced penalties apply under state drug laws.

  • The bill replaces the weight-based measurement (nine grams) with a unit-based measurement (one pill), significantly lowering the bar for triggering threshold offense charges.
