Gavin Newsom says California lawmaker made 'big mistake' killing a drug bill. Why did it die?
Briefly

I felt it a huge mistake that a member of the Legislature killed the tranq bill, the xylazine bill. That was a big mistake. So I'm very active in that respect.
Xylazine is an animal tranquilizer that some drug users have begun mixing with other substances, including fentanyl, according to the California Department of Public Health.
The xylazine measure Newsom likely referenced is Senate Bill 1502, from another Sacramento Democrat, Sen. Angelique Ashby. Her bill would make xylazine a Schedule III drug under California's Uniform Controlled Substances Act.
