Bill > H0140

This bill amends existing law to provide certain penalties for marijuana. Specifically, the bill: 1. Reduces the penalty for possession of one-half ounce or less of marijuana to an infraction with a $250 fine or 8 hours of community service and 4 hours of drug abuse education, if the person has no prior drug convictions. 2. Maintains felony penalties for possession of more than 3 ounces of marijuana. 3. Makes technical changes to provisions related to racketeering and money laundering laws to refer to the updated marijuana possession penalties. The bill aims to establish a more lenient approach to low-level marijuana possession while maintaining stricter penalties for larger amounts or repeat offenses.
