AZ SB1013

Amends Arizona Revised Statutes section 13-901.01 to make individuals convicted of personal possession or use of fentanyl ineligible for probation and subject to sentencing under chapter 34 of the criminal code, except when the person has a valid medical prescription for fentanyl.

Applies the same sentencing restrictions previously established for methamphetamine possession under Proposition 301 (2006) to fentanyl possession convictions.

Legislation findings cite fentanyl as a leading cause of drug-related deaths in Arizona and the United States, with Arizona serving as a major trafficking corridor due to its proximity to the southern border.

Requires an affirmative vote of at least three-fourths of the members of each house of the legislature for the amendment to take effect, pursuant to Article IV, Part 1, Section 1 of the Arizona Constitution.
