This bill would change how federal meth cases are handled. It would end the need to test drug purity in certain court cases. Instead, mandatory minimum sentences would apply based on the total weight of any mixture with a detectable amount of meth, removing separate rules for pure meth. The bill also would tell the U.S. Sentencing Commission to review and possibly make sentencing rules for meth crimes tougher, especially for serious cases.
