Only a few fentanyl-related bills survived a special public safety hearing in the California Legislature on Thursday — and one from Assemblymember Cottie Petrie-Norris that would strengthen penalties for trafficking fentanyl through social media was not among them.

The special Assembly Public Safety Committee hearing — put together late last week to hear six bills after most fentanyl-related legislation stalled in the statehouse this year — gave the OK to bills meant to enhance cooperation among state organizations investigating opioid traffickers and to create an addiction and overdose prevention task force.
