This bill makes it illegal to possess more than five grams of methamphetamine and creates an automatic legal assumption that anyone caught with that amount intends to sell it (unless they can prove otherwise in court). The penalty increases from a Class 3 felony to a Class 2 felony if the person also has three or more items suggesting drug dealing, such as cash, weapons, drug packaging materials, or customer lists.
