LAFAYETTE, La. (KLFY) -- After making its way through the Louisiana House of Representatives, the Segus Jolivette Act has officially been signed into Louisiana law.

The new law has put two new rules in place:

2. Drug dealers can now be charged with manslaughter if the substance they distribute causes someones death, even if passed through another person.
