LOCAL LAW NO. 7, 2009
A LOCAL LAW AMENDING THE TOWN CODE OF THE TOWN OF ORANGETOWN BY ADDING CHAPTER 10B, ENTITLED DRUG FREE SCHOOL ZONES.
Chapter 10B, DRUG-FREE SCHOOL ZONES
10B-1. Legislative Findings.
The Town Board recognizes the proliferation of the illicit use of drugs, narcotics and controlled substances in our society as one of the most threatening and dangerous problems facing our youth. The Town Board has supported programs which educate our young people about the dangers of the illicit use of drugs, narcotics and controlled substances and supports those programs which prevent these problems before they begin.
Drug-free zones create an atmosphere and attitude against the use of drugs and gives the moral support to those young people who wish to resist the use of illegal narcotics. Drug-free school zones use deterrence to prevent exploitation of children by drug traffickers and to reduce children’s exposure to illegal drug activity. These zones are intended to create safe havens in which young people can develop skills to resist the temptations of drug use and learn positive, productive values.
The President of the Board of Education of the Pearl River Union Free School District and the President of the Board of Education of the South Orangetown Central School District have requested that the Town Board of the Town of Orangetown adopt legislation declaring a Drug-Free Zone around the public High Schools and Middle Schools in those districts in the Town of Orangetown, and for the adoption of official maps which details the scope of this zone around the respective existing schools in the Town of Orangetown. This request and official map designation will offer an additional tool to protect the youth of this community from the exposure to and the sale of controlled substances.
The Town Board acknowledges that Title 21 of the U.S. Code, §860 provides for increased penalties for those persons who manufacture, sell or distribute narcotics, controlled substances and marijuana within 1,000 feet of a public or private elementary school location or secondary school or public or private college, junior college or university or within 100 feet of a playground, public or private youth center, public swimming pool or video arcade facility.
The Town Board also acknowledges that New York State Penal Code §220 provides for stronger criminal penalties for drug offenses that occur within a 1,000 foot radius of the school property. Under the State Penal Law it is a felony to sell drugs in any school building, structure, athletic playing field, playground or land contained within a drug-free school zone, or in any area
Local Law No. 7, 2009 – Continued
accessible to the public or any parked vehicle located within such zone. (Penal Law §220.00, 220.34, 220.44).

Maps are hereby approved and adopted as an official finding and record of the location and boundaries of the areas within the Town of Orangetown to be included in the Drug Free School Zone.
