California 's one -party supermajority legislature systematically avoids transparency and accountability by killing controversial legislation without voting on the record.

Four grieving moms fought for fentanyl legislation, but it was killed before lawmakers even got to vote.

While California lawmakers would not increase criminal penalties for fentanyl, they did decriminalize fentanyl test strips, which were considered drug paraphilia until 2022 .
