Criminal Law - Controlled Dangerous Substances and Criminal Organizations

Summary

The bill says anyone who conspires to distribute or possess a controlled dangerous substance will face the same sentence as if they had actually committed the drug offense. It also broadens where prosecutors can bring cases involving drug crimes or crimes tied to criminal organizations, allowing them to file in any county linked to the conspiracy, the organization’s base, the defendant’s residence, or where proceeds were handled. The changes affect drug dealers, conspirators, and members of criminal groups, aiming to close loopholes and simplify prosecution.
