HB 1403 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Modifies the offense of delivery of a controlled substance

This bill updates the legal classification for delivering controlled substances, primarily affecting individuals who distribute drugs or allow minors to access them. It establishes that delivering small amounts of marijuana or synthetic cannabinoids remains a class E felony, while increasing penalties to a class C felony if the recipient is a minor at least two years younger than the seller. The legislation also elevates offenses to class B or A felonies when drugs are delivered to minors or when the substance is marketed to look like food or candy, aiming to address specific risks associated with youth access and product tampering.
