HB 371 removes all penalties for possession of 1 ounce or less of cannabis, except for those who are under 21 years of age. Possession of more than 1 ounce of cannabis will remain a misdemeanor.
The bill also:
- Removes language referencing search and seizure authority; and
- Adds a provision to the Uniform Controlled Substances Act that provides that there will be no criminal or civil penalty for transfers of 1 ounce or less of marijuana between persons who are 21 years of age or older without remuneration.
