Definitions related to controlled substances modified.
HF 2980 modifies definitions for "park zone," "school zone," and "public housing zone" in Minnesota law, reducing the surrounding distance from 300 feet to 100 feet (or one city block, whichever is greater). The bill directly affects how these zones are defined for enforcement of laws, including those related to controlled substances. It amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 152.01, by updating subdivisions 12a (park zone), 14a (school zone), and 19 (public housing zone). The changes clarify the boundaries of these zones where certain legal restrictions apply. Note: The bill's title mentions "controlled substances," but the actual content modifies zone definitions, not substance-related provisions.
