S 221 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to criminal possession and criminal sale of a controlled substance

This bill amends New York's penal law to set a 15-gram threshold for stimulants. It specifies that possessing 15 grams or more of a stimulant, or selling 15 grams or more of a stimulant, will be classified as a class A-I felony. These changes directly affect individuals who possess or sell stimulant drugs (like cocaine or methamphetamine) in quantities meeting or exceeding this weight. The bill does not alter existing thresholds for narcotics or methadone.
