Modifies the offenses of trafficking of drugs in the first and second degree

Summary

The bill replaces sections 579.065 and 579.068 of the Missouri Revised Statutes with new language that defines first‑ and second‑degree drug‑trafficking offenses based on specific amounts of heroin, cocaine, LSD, PCP, marijuana, fentanyl and other controlled substances. It makes lower‑quantity trafficking a class B felony and raises larger‑quantity or location‑related offenses to a class A felony, while also adding harsher penalties for repeat offenses. The measure failed to become law.
