What’s in it

This bill relates to the possession of small quantities of marijuana. The bill provides that certain conduct involving one-half ounce or less of marijuana that was not offered for sale is a simple misdemeanor punishable by a scheduled fine of $500. Current law imposes penalties ranging from an aggravated misdemeanor up to a class “B” felony depending upon the conduct of the defendant and the quantity of marijuana. The bill repeals Code section 124.410, which involves proving that the defendant delivered or possessed with intent to deliver one-half ounce or less of marijuana that was not offered for sale.
