Bill Summary

AN ACT To repeal section 579.020, RSMo, and to enact in lieu thereof one new section relating to the delivery of a controlled substance, with penalty provisions.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend the existing law on the delivery of controlled substances in Missouri. It would make the delivery of a controlled substance a class A felony if a death results from the delivery. The current law already classifies the delivery of controlled substances as a range of felonies, from class C to class B, depending on factors such as the amount and the age of the recipient. This new provision would add the additional penalty of a class A felony if a death occurs as a result of the delivery.
