Bill > SF3470

This bill modifies the legal definition of "sell" in Minnesota's controlled substances statute by making two key changes. First, it removes the provision that currently considers an offer or agreement to perform a selling-related action as equivalent to "selling" a controlled substance. Second, it renumbers the existing provision about possessing controlled substances with intent to sell from clause (3) to clause (2). The practical effect is to slightly narrow the definition of "sell" by eliminating the language about offers or agreements to sell, while maintaining the core definition that "sell" includes actions like giving away, delivering, distributing, or manufacturing controlled substances, as well as possessing controlled substances with intent to do those things. The bill becomes effective the day after it is finally enacted, and it specifically amends Minnesota Statutes section 152.01, subdivision 15a, which is part of the state's legal framework governing controlled substances.
