The law enforcement forces responsible for protecting this community
are further directed and requested to enforce Article 220 of the New York
State Penal Law, §§ 220.34 and 220.44, which, among other things,
make the criminal sale of a controlled substance to a person less than nineteen

of any school a Class C felony and, when those substances are narcotics or
certain minimum amounts of other drugs, a Class B felony, subject to a mandatory
minimum term of imprisonment of at least two (2) to six (6) years, so as to
reinforce these areas' status as drug-free zones.
