1 results foundAuthor: Florida. Senate. Committee on Criminal Justice Title: Review Penalties for Drug-Free Zone Violations Summary: Florida law increases the gravity of certain drug offenses and the severity of the penalty when these offenses are committed within 1,000 feet of certain places and facilities, such as within 1,000 feet of the real property of a K-12 school. These protected areas are sometimes referred to as “drug-free zones” or “DFZs.” DFZ laws have been advocated to protect the users of these places and facilities and as valuable drug enforcement and prosecution tools, but also have been criticized as being unfair, indiscriminatly punitive, and not accomplishing purposes for which they are typically intended. This report provides information relevant to Florida’s DFZ provisions so that legislators can assess whether these provisions should be retained in their current form, modified, or repealed. Some options are provided for legislators to consider. Details: Tallahassee: Florda Sentate, 2011. 10p.
