Chairman Joe Moody Hosts Public Hearing on
Reducing Penalties for Small Amounts of Marijuana
HB 334 was introduced in the special legislative session and would
replace criminal penalties for low-level marijuana possession with a civil
citation
AUSTIN,
Texas - August 10, 2017 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Texas House Criminal
Jurisprudence Committee Chairman Joe Moody held a public hearing to discuss
reducing state marijuana possession penalties on Wednesday and to support HB
334, which was introduced by Chairman Moody in the special legislative session
in July.
HB 334
would make possession of a small amount of marijuana a civil citation
punishable by a $250 fine but not a criminal conviction; courts can allow some
of the fine to be paid off through the offender taking drug education courses
or doing community service. For a third offense, the civil penalty must include
a drug education requirement. On a fourth offense, a prosecutor can proceed
with a Class C misdemeanor instead of a civil citation.
