This bill proposes to amend the current statutes regarding drug offenses by updating the threshold amount for hydrolyzed cocaine. Under the current law, the threshold for hydrolyzed cocaine is set at 750 milligrams, which would be removed by this bill. Instead, hydrolyzed cocaine would be included in the existing threshold amount of nine grams for regular cocaine, effectively consolidating the two categories into one.

The bill also makes several conforming changes to the statute, including the renumbering of subsequent items in the list of threshold amounts for various substances. Specifically, it deletes the separate mention of hydrolyzed cocaine and adjusts the numbering of the remaining substances accordingly. Overall, the changes aim to simplify the legal framework surrounding drug offenses related to cocaine and its derivatives.
