Lurie's 'Fentanyl State of Emergency Ordinances' are intended to streamline actions against fentanyl but require Board of Supervisors' approval due to legal restrictions.
Supervisor Bilal Mahmood expressed optimism about Lurie's plan, highlighting it would allow officials similar powers as during COVID-19 to respond urgently to drug-related crises.
The legislative package proposes expanding services such as night operations for drug market management, creating specialized police units for tourist areas, and establishing a 24/7 drop-off center for behavioral health issues.
Lurie emphasized the need for additional resources and approval to bypass bureaucratic obstacles hindering effective responses to the ongoing fentanyl crisis.
