Amending penalty of simple marijuana possession from misdemeanor crime to civil violation

This bill changes penalties for possessing less than 15 grams of marijuana from a criminal misdemeanor to a civil violation. It affects individuals caught with small amounts of marijuana for the first time, replacing potential jail time (up to 1 year) or criminal records with a flat civil fine of up to $25. The key change is moving simple possession under 15g from criminal prosecution to a non-criminal penalty, as specified in Section (c) of the bill. This applies only to marijuana possession, not other drug offenses or larger quantities.
