HB 864 Obtaining drugs by false pretenses.

Introduced by: Clifton A. Woodrum | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY:

Obtaining drugs by false pretenses. Expands the sentencing options available upon conviction to add the alternative of discharge and dismissal. In 1997, this section was amended to allow the court to enter a conviction of a Class 1 misdemeanor rather than a Class 6 felony for a first offender who complies with court-imposed terms and conditions of evaluation and participation in a treatment or education program. Discharge and dismissal would be treated as a criminal conviction only for purposes of determining subsequent availability of that sentencing option for him.
