The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, specifically section 152.01, to modify the definitions of "park zone," "school zone," and "public housing zone" in relation to public safety and controlled substances. For "park zone," the distance from the park boundary is changed from 300 feet to 100 feet. Similarly, the definition of "school zone" is adjusted to reflect a distance of 100 feet from school property, rather than the previous 300 feet or one city block. The "public housing zone" definition is also updated to specify a distance of 100 feet from the property's boundary, removing the previous reference to 300 feet or one city block.

These changes aim to clarify the boundaries associated with these zones, potentially impacting the enforcement of laws related to controlled substances in these areas. By reducing the distance from 300 feet to 100 feet, the bill may affect the legal implications for individuals and activities occurring near parks, schools, and public housing projects.
