Bill > SB2095

This bill proposes to amend Tennessee law concerning marijuana possession, specifically by increasing the amount of marijuana considered a "small amount" from one-half ounce to five ounces, meaning that possessing less than five ounces would no longer be a Class A misdemeanor, which is a serious criminal offense, but would instead be punishable by a $500 fine for a first offense and a $1,000 fine for subsequent offenses. The bill also makes conforming changes to related sections of Tennessee Code Annotated (TCA), which is the compilation of the state's laws, and is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
