COLUMBIA, S.C. (WSPA) - South Carolina lawmakers are targeting drug dealers in a new bill that could put dealers in prison for homicide, aiming to stop the use and dealing of fentanyl. "Fentanyl is, it's like this beast that's in our country now, and it is not, it's not going anywhere," said Holly Alsobrooks, the co-founder of Fentanyl Kills U. Fentanyl Kills U is an organization that spreads awareness about the drug and its effects.This bill has a special meaning for Alsobrooks because she lost her son, Cody, to one single pill. "They make one poor choice one night, and they foster that. Cody was my only child, so I'm doing this; we are all doing this so that our children's lives did not end in vain," she said. Alsobrooks is partnering with lawmakers to support the Drug-induced Homicide bill.Leaders say it will target individuals who are knowingly distributing fentanyl or related substances. Representative Tommy Pope, who pre-filed the bill, said many people who are taking drugs don't know it's fentanyl, but the dealers do. "If you envision when you got the brownie mix from the store, the cake mix from the store, and you're mixing it up. You know how you always end up with a couple dry spots? You know? You have to keep mixing. Well, if you don't mix it, you've got some that are pure powder, and some may be the other items that were added. Well, the same thing happens when they're mixing this up and cutting these drugs," he said. Pope said that one important thing to notice is that the bill has very specific language that can grant immunity to certain people. "You're not trying to prosecute users. Also, there's a section that we have to be careful of because we want to urge people to contact medical help. You know, we've got a section article 19 in the in the drug code that talks about, you know, some sort of immunity for calling for help to save lives." Under the bill, if the person who took fentanyl dies as a result, the dealer could be sentenced to up to 30 years in prison if convicted. The bill will be considered first by the House Judiciary when the session begins on January 14.
