Installed Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs (D) on Tuesday vetoed SB1027, which would have established "knowingly manufacturing carfentanil, fentanyl or fentanyl memetic substances under any circumstance that causes physical injury to a minor who is under 15 years of age as a class 2 felony offense punishable as a dangerous crime against children" and made changes to existing sentencing provisions for certain narcotic drug offenses.
This includes harsher sentences for those convicted of distributing heroin, carfentanil, fentanyl, or a fentanyl memetic substance and even more damning consequences under circumstances that cause physical injury to a minor.
The bill passed through the Senate and House with bipartisan support.
This is why Arizonans refer to the illegitimate Governor as "Cartel Katie." Hobbs vetoed the bill, claiming that it would undermine Arizona's "Good Samaritan Law," which provides protection to individuals who intervene to save someone experiencing an opioid overdose.
State Senator Anthony Kern, the bill's sponsor, called this a "misleading stretch" and stated that "Hobbs is more concerned with protecting fentanyl manufacturers and providers than implementing real measures that protect our children and communities from these dangerous drugs."
