Occurrences
Congressman Chip Roy introduced the Deal Death, Face Death Act, legislation which would allow the death penalty as punishment for those who knowingly distribute fentanyl or any drug mixed with it that results in death.
Evidence
Roy announced he introduced the Deal Death, Face Death Act, a bill that would allow death penalties for knowingly distributing fentanyl or fentanyl-mixed drugs when a death results.
The draft text amends federal drug law to add a death-penalty provision for fentanyl distribution that causes death.
Assessments
Roy directly introduced the Deal Death, Face Death Act during his current federal House term. The bill matches the promise by proposing death-penalty eligibility for knowingly distributing fentanyl or fentanyl-laced drugs when death results. Because the pledge was to support legislation, not necessarily enact it, sponsorship/introduction satisfies the promised action.
