While some of these bills have passed, some will die in committee, or expire before the “cross-over” deadline passed, meaning it had to pass the house or senate to be considered for signing by the governor.

 

This is the likely case for Michigan House Bill 4623 (Senate Bill 626). It would “reduce the penalty for up to an ounce of marijuana to a civil fine; depending on the number of prior convictions, the fine would range from $25 up to $100.” Pollicella said she’d love the bill to pass, but it hasn’t budged since last year. “I don’t think the Michigan legislature is ready to do anything about that right now.”

 

She said that while the Michigan legislature is rather conservative, there is hope for the mostly Republican-supported HB 4271, which already passed the house. This new act would protect dispensaries and persons acting under the Medical Marihuana Act.
