What’s in it

This bill relates to the venue for prosecution of a controlled substance violation resulting in the death or serious bodily injury of another. The bill provides that a person who causes the death of another person or who causes serious bodily injury to another person while committing a violation of Code section 124.401(1) (prohibited acts —— manufacture, delivery, possession) may be charged criminally in either the county where the controlled substance violation occurred or in the county where the death or serious bodily injury occurred. If two prosecuting agencies are seeking to file criminal charges, the county where the controlled substance violation occurred shall have priority.
