Legislation which would make possession of up to an ounce of marijuana a Class C misdemeanor has been scheduled for a hearing on Tuesday, February 28. Submit written support for this legislation here.
HB 218, authored by Rep. Joe Moody of El Paso, will be heard by the Criminal Jurisprudence Committee in the Texas House of Representatives next week.
Bill Highlights:
Of Note: This bill merges together two bills from last session that passed both the House Committee and the House Floor. The author, Rep Joe Moody, is also the Chair of the Criminal Jurisprudence Committee. We anticipate that this bill will quickly advance out of the committee and therefore strongly encourage our fellow Texans to submit their support virtually.
