SB 74-CRIMES INVOLVING MARIJUANA/OTHER DRUGS 4:48:42 PM CHAIR RALPH SEEKINS announced SB 74 to be up for consideration. He advised the committee was working off Version \A. 4:51:07 PM MR. DEAN GUANELI, chief assistant attorney general, Department of Law (DOL), commented in the last meeting Senator French proposed a committee substitute to the bill (Version \G). He proposed an amendment to Version \A. 4:52:51 PM SENATOR HOLLIS FRENCH moved Amendment 2. A M E N D M E N T 2 Delete Section 3 of the bill and re-number bill sections accordingly. Page 6, line 20: Change "aggregate weight of one-half ounce or more" to read "aggregate weight of less than one ounce [ONE- HALF OUNCE OR MORE]" Page 6, delete lines 22-25 Do not renumber paragraphs. Page 7, delete lines 22-25 and re-number paragraphs accordingly. CHAIR SEEKINS objected for discussion. MR. GUANELI explained the amendment would remove Section 3, which experienced the most resistance. 4:55:40 PM MR. GUANELI continued possession of smaller amounts of marijuana should be a misdemeanor. 4:57:42 PM The next bullet on the amendment would repeal the provisions on lines 22-25 so less than one-half ounce provision goes away. The final change deletes language about growing or selling less than one-half ounce of marijuana. 4:59:25 PM The affect of the amendment is what is now a class B misdemeanor becomes a class A misdemeanor. 5:02:40 PM SENATOR GENE THERRIAULT asked the number of cigarettes in one ounce of marijuana. MR. GUANELI responded it was approximately one hundred. 5:04:33 PM Chair Seekins removed his objection. Hearing no further objections, Amendment 2 was unanimously adopted. Chair Seekins announced a brief recess at 5:05:14 PM. Chair Seekins reconvened the meeting at 5:08:42 PM. SENATOR FRENCH withdrew his proposed committee substitute, which was Version \G. CHAIR SEEKINS held SB 74 in committee.
