AN ACT TO CREATE A DRUG-FREE PUBLIC HOUSING ZONE BY PROVIDING AN ENHANCED PENALTY FOR DRUG OFFENSES NEAR PUBLIC HOUSING.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 90-95(e) is amended by adding a new subdivision to read:
"(10)	Any person 21 years of age or older (i) who commits an offense under G.S. 90-95(a)(1) on property owned, leased, or managed by a housing authority (as defined in G.S. 157-3) or within 300 feet of the boundary of real property owned, leased, or managed by a housing authority and (ii) who is not a lawful resident thereof shall be punished as a Class E felon.  For purposes of this subdivision, the transfer of less than five grams of marijuana for no remuneration shall not constitute a delivery in violation of G.S. 90-95(a)(1)."
