Bill > SF3207

This bill modifies the definitions of "park zone", "school zone", and "public housing zone" in Minnesota's controlled substances statutes by reducing the geographical buffer zones from 300 feet or one city block (whichever was greater) to a flat 100 feet. Specifically, the bill changes three key definitions in section 152.01 of Minnesota Statutes: park zones now include the area within 100 feet of a park boundary (instead of 300 feet or one city block), school zones now extend 100 feet beyond school property (instead of 300 feet or one city block), and public housing zones now include the area within 100 feet of a public housing project's boundary (instead of 300 feet or one city block). These modifications effectively reduce the geographical areas around parks, schools, and public housing where enhanced penalties for controlled substance offenses might apply, potentially impacting how drug-related infractions are prosecuted in these locations.
