Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law prohibits a person from possessing or attempting to possess
marijuana. A person who violates the prohibition is guilty of a misdemeanor crime
and may be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned for not more than six months,
or both, for a first conviction and is guilty of a Class I felony and may be fined not more
than $10,000 or imprisoned for not more than three years and six months, or both,

ASSEMBLY BILL 861
for a repeat conviction. Under current law, a repeat conviction includes any previous
conviction for a state or federal misdemeanor or felony relating to a controlled
substance.
This bill reduces to a $100 civil forfeiture the penalty for possessing or
attempting to possess 14 grams or less of marijuana. The bill also eliminates
counting, for the purposes of determining if a conviction is a repeat conviction, a
criminal offense of marijuana possession involving 28 grams or less. The bill also
reduces the imprisonment time for a repeat conviction for marijuana possession from
three years and six months to 90 days.
Current law also increases the penalties for possession of other controlled
substances due to a prior conviction for a state or federal misdemeanor or felony
relating to a controlled substance. The bill eliminates counting, as a prior conviction,
a conviction for marijuana possession involving 28 grams or less.
Current law allows a local government to enact an ordinance prohibiting the
possession of marijuana and to impose a forfeiture for a violation of the ordinance.
The bill preempts a local government from imposing a forfeiture amount for the
possession of 14 grams or less of marijuana that is less than the $100 forfeiture
amount imposed by the state or that is more than $250. Under the bill, the court may
impose, instead of the forfeiture amount, no less than 16 hours nor more than 40
hours of community service for violating an ordinance prohibiting the possession of
14 grams or less of marijuana. The bill does not change the current law that allows
local governments discretion in the forfeiture amount imposed for possession of more
than 14 grams of marijuana.
Current law prohibits a person from using or possessing drug paraphernalia
with the intent to produce, distribute, or use a controlled substance. A person who
violates the prohibition is guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to a fine of not more
than $500 or imprisonment for not more than 30 days, or both. The bill reduces the
penalty to a civil forfeiture of not more than $10 for using or possessing drug
paraphernalia that relates to marijuana consumption.
The bill also specifies that a citation issued for possession of marijuana or
marijuana paraphernalia must contain provisions for a deposit in lieu of a court
appearance. The court may consider the deposit as a plea of no contest and enter a
judgment without the person appearing in court.
The bill allows law enforcement officers discretion in how they complete
processing or “booking” of a person for a violation of state law or a local ordinance
prohibiting possession or attempted possession of marijuana or marijuana
paraphernalia, including whether to take the person to jail, complete a booking
photo, or fingerprint the person. Under the bill, however, a law enforcement officer
must still obtain certain personal information from the person sufficient for
identification, including at least the person's name and current address.
The bill, subject to certain exceptions, limits the liability of an employer that
does not require an employee or prospective employee to submit to a test for the
presence of any tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the active ingredient in
marijuana, synthetic cannabinoid, or a controlled substance analog to THC or a - 3 -2023 - 2024 Legislature

synthetic cannabinoid in his or her system (drug testing) as a condition of
employment.
The bill does not apply to the drug testing of an employee or prospective
employee who is subject to drug testing under 1) any regulation promulgated by the
federal Department of Transportation that requires drug testing of an employee or
prospective employee or any rule promulgated by the Department of Transportation
of this state adopting such a regulation for purposes of enforcing the requirements
of that regulation with respect to intrastate commerce; 2) any contract entered into
between the federal government and an employer or any grant of financial assistance
from the federal government to an employer that requires drug testing of employees
and prospective employees as a condition of receiving the contract or grant; 3) any
federal statute, regulation, order, or other requirement or condition that requires
drug testing of employees and prospective employees for purposes of safety or
security; 4) any substance abuse prevention program under a collective bargaining
agreement or under the current law that requires such programs for public works
and public utility projects; 5) rules promulgated by the Law Enforcement Standards
Board requiring drug testing of prospective law enforcement officers, tribal law
enforcement officers, jail officers, and secure detention officers; or 6) any employer
requirement that an employee be a licensed private security person and carry a
firearm in the course of employment.
Because this bill creates a new crime or revises a penalty for an existing crime,
the Joint Review Committee on Criminal Penalties may be requested to prepare a
report.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
