This bill proposes to amend the existing drug statutes by updating the threshold amount for hydrolyzed cocaine. Currently, the law specifies a threshold of 750 milligrams for hydrolyzed cocaine, which would be removed under the new legislation. Instead, hydrolyzed cocaine would be included in the existing threshold amount of nine grams for regular cocaine, thereby simplifying the legal framework regarding these substances.

Specifically, the bill will delete the current provision that sets a separate threshold for hydrolyzed cocaine and will insert language to clarify that hydrolyzed cocaine falls under the nine-gram threshold for cocaine. Additionally, the bill makes conforming changes to the numbering of subsequent provisions in the statute. Overall, these updates aim to streamline the legal definitions and thresholds related to cocaine and its derivatives.
