Overview
This bill proposes a change to how drug dealing offenses are graded in New Jersey. Instead of measuring offenses by the weight of controlled substances, it allows for grading based on ‘units’ – the smallest discrete amount of the substance. This aims to provide a more flexible and potentially fairer system for determining the severity of drug crimes, particularly when dealing with smaller quantities of drugs.
