AI Summary
This bill amends the New York Penal Law to create a new criminal offense called "Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance to a Child in the First Degree." This new offense applies when an individual over the age of 18 knowingly and unlawfully sells a controlled substance to a person under the age of 14, and it is classified as a Class A-II felony. The bill also renames the existing "Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance to a Child" offense as "Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance to a Child in the Second Degree," which applies to sales to individuals under the age of 17 by someone over the age of 21. The bill aims to increase penalties for the criminal sale of controlled substances to minors.
