Bill > HB5105

This bill modifies penalties related to marihuana possession and distribution under Michigan's Public Health Code, specifically adjusting the quantity thresholds and corresponding criminal penalties for marihuana-related offenses. The bill increases the quantity thresholds for different levels of marihuana-related crimes, generally reducing the severity of penalties for larger quantities. For example, possession of 250 kilograms or more (previously 45 kilograms) would now be a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine up to $10 million, while possession of 25-125 kilograms would be a felony with up to 4 years in prison and a $2 million fine. The bill also introduces new penalty categories for marihuana concentrate, with specific thresholds and corresponding punishments. Additionally, the bill adds a new misdemeanor category for possession of 10-25 kilograms or 50-100 plants, punishable by up to 1 year in jail and a $20,000 fine. The bill is tied to another House Bill and will only take effect if that companion bill is also enacted into law, indicating it is part of a broader legislative package addressing marihuana-related criminal penalties.
