🔴 NJ Senator Holly Schepisi pushes for a bill to teach students about fentanyl and xylazine dangers in schools.
🔴 The bill is named after Max Lenowitz, 25, who died from a fake pill laced with fentanyl on his birthday.
Phil Murphy signed a joint resolution into law, designating July 14 as Fentanyl Poisoning Awareness Day.
“They are being manufactured overseas, coming up through Mexico, and along the way, have been cut with a potentially lethal dosage of fentanyl,” Schepisi said.
Five other states, California, Illinois, Mississippi, Oregon, and Texas, have already mandated instruction on the dangers of fentanyl and xylazine in schools.
