Substance use disorders are illnesses, and we need to protect our most vulnerable New Yorkers from the dangers of illicit drugs in our state. Every day, more and more street drugs are found to be laced with lethal doses of fenta- nyl and other deadly substances. My district, among others, suffers at the hands of repeat offenders who take lives before the state even has a chance to prosecute them. We need to control the sale of these substances.   PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New Bill.   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT: None.   EFFECTIVE DATE: Immediately.
