Prosecutors across the state, meanwhile, say they lack the tools to charge in such cases. In the past legislative session, Gov. Larry Hogan proposed a bill allowing prosecutors to charge a dealer in the death of an overdose victim, a law that would have carried a 30-year maximum sentence. But the bill was revised, instead adding 10 years of prison time for dealers convicted of supplying fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid often mixed with heroin that has contributed to the increase in fatal overdoses.
