District Attorney Brian Mason Plays Key Role in Passage of Fentanyl Accountability and Prevention Act


District Attorney Brian Mason spent much of the 2022 Colorado Legislative Session fighting for HB22-1236 Fentanyl Accountability and Prevention. The bill, which was passed and signed by Governor Jared Polis, provides additional tools for law enforcement and District Attorneys in the fight against the fentanyl crisis. This bill received bipartisan support and was heavily backed by families who have been negatively impacted by the deadly consequences of this drug. 

"Our goal in using these tools is to get fentanyl off the streets, to prevent more death, and to hold accountable those who are distributing this poison."  -- District Attorney Brian Mason

This piece of legislation, which passed and was signed into law by Governor Jared Polis, allows for all Coloradans to receive an annual mental health exam, much like an annual physical exam. This law is the first of its kind in the United States. DA Mason continues to prioritize mental health within his administration, and his public support of this law was a continuation of this effort.
