What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
