Bill > SF266

This bill modifies the penalties for marijuana and cannabidiol possession in Iowa. It creates a new civil penalty structure for possession of one ounce or less of marijuana, with fines ranging from $50 to $200 based on the number of prior offenses. For possession of more than one ounce, the penalties remain criminal, with fines and potential jail time. The bill also allows for the possession and use of cannabidiol as authorized by state law. Additionally, the bill establishes a drug court revolving fund to be used by the judicial branch to administer drug courts throughout the state, funded by the civil penalties collected for marijuana possession. The bill also specifies that juvenile violations of the new marijuana possession provisions will be handled through the juvenile justice system.
