BILL NUMBER:S7657 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the penal law, in relation to homicide by sale of an opiate controlled substance PURPOSE: This bill would criminalize the sale of an opiate controlled substance when the unlawful transport or unlawful sale of an opiate controlled substance causes the death of another. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 amends section 220.00 of the penal law by adding new paragraph 21 that defines the term "opiate controlled substance" as a controlled substance that is further classified under Public Health Law as an opiate or opium derivative. Section 2 amends the penal law to add new section 125.24, to create the new crime of homicide by sale of an opiate controlled substance, a class A-I felony, that is committed when one unlawfully imports into the state or transports from one county to another within the state, an opiate controlled substance and such causes the death of another. This section also creates a defense to the crime when the defendant jointly and simultaneously acquired and possessed such opiate controlled substance for joint use with the deceased, with intent to jointly inject, inhale or otherwise ingest.
