The local law enforcement authorities have no way to pursue this dealer so that they could only have a kind of justice that they have to work with the federal government. And there are so many of these cases that they are unable to pursue everyone. This happens or happens. Senate Bill 156 The law on Fentanyl induced murder law on the Senate in South Carolina. According to Adams, the local law enforcement authorities enable their own cases to create their own cases. Medicines are constantly developing. Medicines constantly change, quickly develop into more powerful and more addictive. And it is important that law enforcement stays up to date. And they always develop. The invoice would also increase the penalties for drug dealers who were found guilty. It is one of three legislative templates this year in the State House with the draft law of the Senate 183 and the house 3591, which extends the law to cover all drug substances. Chastain says that laws are only a piece in the fight against drug overdoses. We would be happy if one of the three bills rises to the governor's desk this year. Something is better than nothing. The law enforcement will only give the tools that they really have to pursue according to these drug dealers. That was our Nate Stanley reporting.
