Requires grading of offenses involving manufacturing, distributing, and dispensing heroin based on dosage units in addition to weight.

New Jersey Assembly Bill A343 would change how heroin-related offenses are graded by requiring courts to consider both the weight and number of dosage units involved in a crime. Currently, these offenses are graded solely by weight, creating an imbalance since a single dosage unit of heroin weighs much less than a single dosage unit of cocaine. The bill defines "dosage unit" as either the smallest discrete unit of distribution (like a pill or packet) or the typical amount consumed at one time, whichever results in more units. This change would align heroin offense grading more closely with cocaine offense standards, potentially increasing penalties for certain heroin distribution cases.
