Increases penalties for certain heroin offenses by revising threshold amounts for first, second, and third degree crimes of manufacturing, distributing, and dispensing heroin.

This bill revises New Jersey's penalties for heroin offenses by lowering the quantity thresholds that trigger higher felony charges. Specifically, it increases penalties for first-degree crimes (now triggered by 2.5 ounces or more of heroin), second-degree crimes (0.17 ounces to 2.5 ounces), and third-degree crimes (less than 0.17 ounces). These changes apply directly to individuals convicted of manufacturing, distributing, or dispensing heroin. The bill also specifies mandatory minimum prison terms and higher fines for these offenses, with first-degree convictions carrying up to $500,000 fines and mandatory minimum sentences.
