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.
