Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the penal law, in relation to the criminal sale of a controlled substance to a person less than fourteen years of age
AI Summary
This bill amends the New York Penal Law to create a new offense called "Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance to a Child in the First Degree." The new offense makes it a class A-II felony for a person over 18 years old to knowingly and unlawfully sell a controlled substance to a person under 14 years old. 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 remains a class B felony for a person over 21 years old selling to someone under 17 years old.
