Relates to the possession and sale of substances containing heroin

This bill amends New York's penal law to increase penalties for possessing or selling heroin-containing substances based on specific weight thresholds and packaging quantities. It sets new limits: for example, possessing or selling heroin preparations totaling 1.5 grams or packaged in 50+ containers triggers enhanced penalties under Section 220.16. Similar thresholds apply to other offenses (e.g., 12 grams for sales under Section 220.18), with higher limits for other contexts like methadone. The bill directly affects individuals possessing or distributing heroin-based substances that meet these quantitative thresholds, making those acts subject to stricter criminal penalties.
