HB 4357 & SB 2228 — Sentence Reductions for Possession of Cannabis under 500 grams

House Bill 4357 (HB 4357) and Senate Bill 2228 (SB 2228) amend the Cannabis Control Act. Misdemeanor possession of less than 10 grams of cannabis is replaced by a civil law violation with a fine of $100 to $200. The sentences for possession of 10 to 500 grams are reduced one class level and the increased penalty for the second or subsequent offense of possession 10-30 grams is eliminated. New penalty ranges are created for possession of 30-100 grams and 100-500 grams.
