Legislation that reduces penalties for possession of cannabis flower and concentrates has been passed by the Texas House of Representatives by a voice vote. The bill will still have a third reading, which is a formality, before it heads to the Senate.
I am excited to see our priority legislation continuing to advance. The two previous versions of this bill had already passed the chamber in the previous session. The House’s continued support for penalty reduction is heartening. We do have more work to do as it heads to the Senate, so I encourage my fellow Texans to reach out to their Senators to encourage their backing as it moves through the legislative process.
