Relates to the criminal sale of a controlled substance to a person less than fourteen years of age
This New York bill creates a new class A-II felony offense for adults selling controlled substances to children under 14 years old. It amends existing law (which previously treated sales to minors under 17 as a class B felony) by establishing stricter penalties specifically for sales to younger children. The key provision raises the penalty level for targeting children under 14, while existing penalties for sales to minors aged 14-16 remain unchanged. The bill directly affects adults who sell drugs to children under 14, making such acts a more severe criminal offense.
