AI Summary

  • Adds fentanyl and oxycodone to controlled substances subject to additional mandatory prison terms based on weight thresholds, with terms ranging from 3 to 25 years depending on quantity.

  • Establishes weight thresholds for fentanyl enhancements starting at 20 grams (3-year term) up to 1,600 grams (25-year term), and includes oxycodone in existing heroin/cocaine enhancement provisions.

  • Requires courts to find circumstances in aggravation before imposing these additional penalties, reversing the prior standard that allowed courts to strike enhancements only upon finding mitigating circumstances.

  • Conspiracy enhancements only apply if the defendant conspirator was substantially involved in planning, direction, execution, or financing of the underlying offense.

  • Specifies that weight allegations must be charged in the accusatory pleading and admitted or found true by the trier of fact before enhancements can be imposed.
