Overview

Reduces the threshold for fentanyl that is involved in a sale, for the charge to meet enhanced sentencing requirements.

History

Under A.R.S. § 13-3408, if a person possesses or uses a narcotic drug, he is guilty of a class 4 felony. If a person possesses or transports a narcotic drug for sale, he is guilty of a class 2 felony. If a person possesses or transports more than 200 grams of fentanyl for sale, for a first offence he is to be sentenced according to the following enhanced sentencing schema:

1)  minimum sentence of 5 years;

2)  presumptive sentence of 10 years; or 

3)  maximum sentence of 15 years.

If the individual has been previously convicted of possessing or transporting more than 200 grams of fentanyl for sale, the minimum, presumptive and maximum sentences are enhanced by five years each.

Provisions

1.   Lowers the fentanyl quantity threshold at which enhanced sentencing applies, for possessing or transporting fentanyl for sale, from 200 grams to 9 grams. (Sec. 1)

2.   Makes technical changes. (Sec. 1)
