IN HB1552

Creates a new "habitual drug dealer" sentencing enhancement for persons convicted of drug dealing who have two prior unrelated drug dealing convictions

Defines qualifying drug dealing offenses as dealing in cocaine/narcotics, methamphetamine, schedule I-V controlled substances, marijuana, hash oil, hashish, salvia, or synthetic drugs

Requires the two prior convictions to have been sentenced before the current offense was committed to qualify as "prior unrelated convictions"

Excludes convictions that have been set aside or pardoned from counting toward the habitual drug dealer determination

Mandates an additional fixed prison term equal to the sentence imposed for the underlying offense if found to be a habitual drug dealer (effectively doubling the sentence)
