Resolution #060219 - Urging Opposition to S-278, Proposing to
Decrease the Size of Drug-Free School Zones
WHEREAS, S-278 would reduce drug free "school zones" and drug
free "public property" zones from within 1,000 feet of the property
to within 200 feet; and
WHEREAS, under current law, persons who commit drug offenses
within these drug free zones are subject to enhanced penalties;
and
WHEREAS, under current law, a violation of the drug free school
zone law constitutes a crime of the third degree, which is
generally punishable by a term of imprisonment of three-five years

requires the imposition of a mandatory minimum term of
incarceration of one-third to one-half of the sentence, or three

involving less than one ounce of marijuana, as well as a fine of up
to $150,000.

incarceration of at least three years but upgrade these CDS crimes
to crimes of the second degree. Second degree crimes are punishable
by a term of imprisonment of five-to-10 years, a fine of up to
$150,000, or both; and
WHEREAS, S-278 also eliminates the drug free school zone
mandatory minimum of one year for CDS crimes involving less than
one ounce of marijuana, but this crime, as well as crimes involving
a CDS listed on Schedule V, would constitute a crime of the third
degree.
