What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, in the uniform controlled substances act, the penalty for illegally possessing or attempting to illegally possess a controlled substance varies depending on the controlled substance. The uniform controlled substance act provides identical penalties for the actual possession and the attempt to possess each controlled substance except for a schedule I or II controlled substance or analog that is a narcotic. Under the uniform controlled substances act, the actual possession of a schedule I or II controlled substance or analog that is a narcotic is a Class I felony, but the uniform controlled substances act does not provide a specific penalty for the attempt to possess such a controlled substance or analog. The attempt, therefore, is subject to the general provision that an attempt to commit a Class I felony is a Class A misdemeanor.
This bill provides that the attempt to possess a schedule I or II controlled substance or analog that is a narcotic is a Class I felony, the same penalty as the actual possession of that controlled substance.
