This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 152.01, by adding a new subdivision that defines the term "residual amount" in relation to controlled substances. The definition specifies that a "residual amount" refers to an amount of a controlled substance that is not usable, regardless of its potential to produce a pharmacological or physiological effect.
Additionally, the bill establishes an effective date of August 1, 2025, for this new definition, indicating that it will apply to crimes committed on or after that date. Notably, the bill also states that this definition will apply retroactively to crimes committed before the effective date, overriding any conflicting statutory or common law.
