What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, any city, village, town, or county may enact and enforce an ordinance to prohibit the possession of 25 grams or less of marijuana and provide a forfeiture (a civil penalty) for a violation of the ordinance. The ordinance, however, cannot be used to prosecute a person who has previously been convicted of possessing marijuana. Under this bill, the ordinance may be used to prosecute a person who has previously been convicted of possessing marijuana if the person is not prosecuted under the state prohibition against possession.
