AI Summary

This bill amends Mississippi law to revise the definition of aggravated drug trafficking by including the possession of 200 or more dosage units of certain controlled substances, in addition to the existing weight-based thresholds. It also introduces new provisions that make it unlawful to create, sell, or possess with intent to sell "abortion-inducing drugs," defined as medications intended to terminate a pregnancy and cause the death of the unborn child, with specific exceptions for drugs prescribed for other medical reasons. Violations related to abortion-inducing drugs carry a prison sentence of one to ten years, and the Attorney General can pursue civil actions for injunctions, penalties, and damages. The bill also specifies penalties for trafficking and aggravated trafficking of controlled substances, including mandatory minimum sentences and restrictions on probation and parole for aggravated trafficking.
