AI Summary
This bill amends existing laws related to the possession of marijuana in Alabama. It revises the penalties for possession, creates a new offense called "possession of marijuana in the third degree" which is punishable by a fine, and clarifies that the law does not apply to the possession or use of Cannabidiol (CBD) as authorized under other state laws. The bill also specifies that it is exempt from certain constitutional requirements related to increased local government expenditures because it defines a new crime or amends the definition of an existing crime.
