AI Summary
This bill amends the New York Penal Law to reduce the aggregate value of controlled substances sold for a person to be considered a "major trafficker" from $75,000 to $25,000. It also removes the provision that excludes someone from being considered a "profiteer" if they are acting only under the direction and control of others without an independent role in the transactions. Additionally, the bill adds an affirmative defense to the charge of operating as a major trafficker if the defendant was under the direction and control of others and exercised no substantial, independent role in the transactions.
