HB 624 Ohio House · 135th Legislature (2023-2024)

Regards debt adjusting

HB 624 amends existing state statutes to update section numbers and clarify definitions related to controlled substances and drug abuse offenses. The bill specifically defines what constitutes a "bulk amount" of various drugs, such as specific gram quantities or unit doses for different schedules, and establishes rules for how these amounts apply to charges involving fentanyl-related compounds. Additionally, it provides legal definitions for terms like "drug abuse offense" and "felony drug abuse offense" to ensure consistency in how these crimes are identified and prosecuted. This legislation primarily affects law enforcement, the judicial system, and legal professionals by standardizing terminology and thresholds used in drug-related cases.
