Rep. Stephanie Barnard urges bipartisan action to shield children affected by fentanyl use

Rep. Stephanie Barnard advocates for an amendment designed to enhance protections for vulnerable children whose parents are using fentanyl. Urging her colleagues in the chamber to set aside partisan differences, the lawmaker from the 8th District stresses the importance of safeguarding these children. Despite concerted efforts to prioritize their safety, the amendment narrowly missed passage, with Democrats voting against it by a margin of 46 to 49.
