While House Bill 1 went through both houses of Alabama legislature without any opposition, some local law enforcement says there is a bigger problem than laws.
While law enforcement does appreciate getting some drugs off the street, some say there is still a lot that has to go right for the law to work.
“Any strong drug law, I am 100% behind, but the problem doesn’t lie in the laws on the books, the problem lies within the system itself,” said Geneva Police Chief, Pepper Mock.
Representative Matt Simpson, who sponsored HB1 also filed HB 230 which would make it a criminal offense to ‘chemically endanger a first responder’ who may come in contact with fentanyl. That bill was introduced to the House on April 4.
