A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT to increase the penalty for the illegal sale of drugs if the transaction occurs in or near a public park.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

"(11)	Any person 21 years of age or older who commits an offense under G.S. 90‑95(a)(1) on property that is a public park or within 300 feet of the boundary of real property that is a public park 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)."
SECTION 2.  This act becomes effective December 1, 2007, and applies to offenses committed on or after that date.
