Bill Summary
An Act amending section 13-3401, Arizona Revised Statutes; relating to drug offenses.
AI Summary
This bill modifies the definition of "threshold amount" in Arizona's drug laws by changing how cocaine is categorized. Specifically, the bill expands the definition of cocaine to explicitly include hydrolyzed cocaine and removes the separate threshold for cocaine base. Under the new language, the threshold amount for cocaine is now nine grams, which now encompasses both standard and hydrolyzed forms of cocaine. The bill also makes some technical corrections to the lettering of subsequent threshold amounts, renumbering the paragraphs to maintain a logical sequence after removing the separate cocaine base category. These changes appear to streamline the legal definition and potentially simplify prosecution of drug offenses involving cocaine in its various forms.
