Modifies the offenses of trafficking of drugs in the first and second degree

HB 49 modifies drug trafficking penalties by adjusting the weight thresholds that determine whether offenses are classified as class B or class A felonies. For example, trafficking heroin now becomes a class A felony at 90 grams (up from 30 grams), and fentanyl trafficking escalates to a class A felony at 3 milligrams for a first offense (previously 10 milligrams). The bill also adds specific enhancements for trafficking near schools, housing, or hotels, increasing penalties when offenses occur within 2,000 feet of schools, public housing, or lodging facilities. These changes apply directly to individuals distributing or manufacturing controlled substances above the new thresholds.
