Marijuana; provide that simple possession of 30 grams or less is a civil infraction.

SB 2229 would have reclassified simple possession of 30 grams or less of marijuana as a civil infraction instead of a criminal offense. This change would directly affect individuals caught with small amounts of marijuana for personal use, shifting penalties from potential jail time to civil fines. The bill proposed a maximum $3,000 fine for such possession, to be handled by municipal courts under amended law. It did not become law, as it died in committee on February 3, 2026.
