Controlled Substance Continuing Sentencing

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill would give courts ongoing power over sentences for people convicted of possessing controlled substances. It amends current law regarding penalties for possessing various controlled substances, including synthetic cannabinoids, and outlines different punishments based on the type and amount of substance, and whether the offense occurred in a drug-free school zone or involved a minor. The bill also clarifies that if a person violates probation conditions, the court can impose any sentence it could have originally given, without credit for time already spent on probation.
