On Tuesday, Lurie sent the Board of Supervisors his first proposed law to combat the fentanyl crisis called the "Fentanyl State of Emergency Ordinance." On Wednesday, the work begins to get his proposal passed.
Mayor Lurie's office says the ordinance will unlock funding and expedite hiring and contracting. It will also speed up the city's process for partnering with nonprofits to provide behavioral health services and address street conditions.

Lurie said in his inauguration speech that he wants to send a clear message to the city and the country that you do not come to San Francisco to deal drugs or do drugs on the streets. And if you do, you will be held accountable.
"The fentanyl crisis isn't a 9-5 operation -- it doesn't take breaks -- and neither will we," Lurie said during his speech. "That is why I'm introducing a package of Fentanyl State of Emergency Ordinances. This will allow us to further surge resources and bypass the bureaucratic hurdles standing in the way of tackling this crisis. I look forward to working with the incoming Board of Supervisors for their quick approval."

The board still has to approve the ordinance before anything moves forward.
On Wednesday, Mayor Lurie will join a group of supervisors and public safety department heads such as the police chief, fire chief sheriff and others to talk about the city's current efforts to combat the fentanyl crisis and strategies for strengthening that work.
The mayor and some of those public safety leaders are expected to speak following the meeting.
