Tougher penalties for fentanyl offenses

In South Dakota, covered fentanyl offenses involving at least 4 milligrams are Class 2 felonies. Amounts from 4 to under 14 milligrams carry at least 3 years in state prison. Amounts of 14 milligrams or more carry at least 10 years, unless a higher mandatory sentence applies to either range. Intentional drug sales carry a Class 1 felony when sellers know the drug is fentanyl and its use directly causes death.
