CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES -- Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding sentences for trafficking of controlled substances.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing law to revise provisions regarding sentences for trafficking of controlled substances. The key changes are: 1) Removing the mandatory minimum sentences for certain drug trafficking crimes, and allowing judges to impose a sentence less than the minimum if they find that the minimum sentence would result in manifest injustice and is not necessary for public protection. 2) Changing references to "mandatory" sentences to simply "minimum" sentences. 3) Making other technical and grammatical changes to the existing statute.
