Relating to creating the criminal offense of continuous manufacture or delivery of a controlled substance.

HB 5467 creates a new third-degree felony offense for individuals who commit two or more separate drug-related violations (such as manufacturing or delivering controlled substances) within a 12-month period. It allows prosecutors to charge this single pattern of behavior as one felony instead of multiple individual offenses, streamlining legal proceedings. The law clarifies that juries need only agree the repeated conduct occurred within the 12-month window - not specific dates, locations, or exact offenses - to convict. This directly affects people repeatedly engaging in drug trafficking or production, shifting penalties from multiple misdemeanor or lower felony charges to a single felony conviction.
