SF 3207 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Controlled substances definitions modification

SF 3207 modifies Minnesota's definitions for "park zones," "school zones," and "public housing zones" in controlled substances law. It reduces the buffer distance around these areas from 300 feet to 100 feet (or one city block, whichever is greater) for enforcement purposes. This change directly affects law enforcement applying controlled substances laws near parks, schools, and public housing developments. The bill amends Minnesota Statutes section 152.01, subdivisions 12a, 14a, and 19, clarifying the exact boundaries where enhanced penalties may apply. It does not alter penalties or create new requirements, only revising the geographic definitions.
