AI Summary

This bill allows courts to impose a sentence other than the mandatory minimum term of imprisonment and mandatory fine for a person convicted of drug trafficking, if the court finds that certain conditions are met, such as the person did not engage in a continuing criminal enterprise, did not use violence or a weapon, and did not cause a death or serious bodily injury. The bill also amends the definition of Schedule III controlled substances to provide that the weight of the controlled substance is not relevant for charging a violation of the drug trafficking statute.
