Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law prohibits manufacturing, distributing, delivering, processing with
intent to manufacture, distribute, or deliver, or simply processing, many drugs,
except that the prohibitions do not apply to certain people who are exempted by
federal or state law. For some of these drugs, the penalties for manufacturing,
distributing, delivering, or possessing with intent to manufacture, distribute, or
deliver, are based on the amount of the drug involved, though the penalties for simple
possession are not based on the amount.
This bill prohibits manufacturing, distributing, delivering, or possessing with
intent to manufacture, distribute, or deliver, 4-methylthioamphetamine (4-MTA or
flatliner), unless a person is exempted from the prohibition by federal or state law.
The bill assigns the same penalties for unlawfully manufacturing, distributing,
delivering, or possessing with intent to manufacture, distribute, or deliver, 4-MTA
as are currently assigned to violations involving phencyclidine (PCP). The penalties

range from a mandatory fine of $1,000 to $200,000 and the possibility of
imprisonment for not more than seven years and six months for a violation involving
three grams or less of the drug, to a mandatory fine of $1,000 to $500,000 and
mandatory imprisonment for not less than ten years nor more than 45 years for a
violation involving more than 400 grams of the drug. (Imprisonment consists of a
term of incarceration and a term of extended supervision.)
The bill increases the penalties for unlawfully manufacturing, distributing,
delivering, and possessing with intent to manufacture, distribute, or deliver,
Gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB), gamma-butyrolactone (GBL),
3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA or ecstasy),
4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxy-beta-phenylethylamine (2-CB or nexus), ketamine, and
flunitrazepam, marketed under the name rohypnol, to the penalty levels for PCP.
The bill also increases the penalties for unlawfully manufacturing, distributing,
delivering, and possessing with intent to manufacture, distribute, or deliver,
counterfeit versions of PCP, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), methamphetamine,
GHB, GBL, MDMA, 2-CB, 4-MTA, ketamine, and flunitrazepam to the same level
as violations involving the genuine drugs.
The bill also increases the penalty for simple possession of MDMA from a fine
of not more than $500 or confinement in jail for not more than 30 days, or both, to
a fine of not more than $5,000 or imprisonment for not more than two years or both.
The increased penalty for simple possession of MDMA is the same as the current
penalty for simple possession of GHB, GBL, ketamine, or flunitrazepam.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
