Katrina Jackson (HB 1024) Act No. 265
Existing law provides for enhanced penalties for violations of the Uniform Controlled
Dangerous Substances Law when the violation occurs on any property used for school
purposes by any school or within 2,000 feet of any such property.
Existing law provides for the same enhanced penalties for violations which occur on property
which is a drug treatment facility, religious building property, public housing authority
property, child day care center property, or within 2,000 feet of any such property, if the area
is posted as a drug free zone.
New law retains existing law.
Prior law further provided for an exception for violations which occur within 2,000 feet of
school property, a drug treatment facility, religious building property, public housing
authority property, or child day care facility property if the violation occurs entirely within
a private residence wherein no person 17 years of age or under was prior.
New law repeals this prior law exception.
Effective Aug. 1, 2014.
(Repeals R.S. 40:981.3(D))
