How They Voted: Decriminalization of Small Amounts of Marijuana

The State Legislature and Senate have passed a bill which will decriminalize the possession of of less than a half ounce of marijuana. Such small possession would become a violation, rather than a crime. Violators would b fined $150 for the first offense, and between $200 and $500 for the second.

The Governor supports the bill.
