ATLANTA (Feb. 29, 2024) – Today, Sen. Tim Bearden (R- Carrollton) made the following statement regarding the Georgia Senate Passing Senate Bill 465 on Feb. 27, 2024:
“This crucial legislation, aimed at curbing the distribution of deadly fentanyl, aligns perfectly with the reasons I chose to run for office in the 30th Senate District. Fentanyl abuse has plagued our state for far too long, devastating families and communities alike.
I am excited to have voted in favor of Senate Bill 465. By imposing harsher penalties on those involved in fentanyl distribution and tightening regulations, this legislation will bolster our efforts to combat the epidemic of drug abuse and save countless lives.
I want to extend my gratitude to my colleague, Sen. Russ Goodman (R–Cogdell), for sponsoring this legislation and to the rest of my Senate colleagues for their support in prioritizing public safety. SB 465 marks a significant step forward in our efforts to safeguard the health and well-being of all Georgians, and I am honored to have played a part in its passage.”
