  • More Penalty Reduction Bills to be Heard on Monday!

More Penalty Reduction Bills to be Heard on Monday!

March 27, 2019 Jax Call to Action, Event, News

Several bills to reduce penalties for marijuana possession will be considered by the Criminal Jurisprudence Committee on Monday, April 1. These bills seek make possession of small amounts a Class C Misdemeanor. Unfortunately, if passed, these bills would uphold the possibility of arrest and leave a person with a life-long criminal record.  Here’s a Facebook event page we’ll use to provide live updates​ and has meet up information..

Take action to support our priority legislation that would remove all criminal consequences!​

The first Texas hemp hearings will also happen on Monday, April 1. If passed, these bills will create a regulatory/licensing infrastructure so Texas farmers can grow hemp. It has been requested that those that are farmers offer verbal testimony.

Educational Exhibit at the Capitol: April 2nd! We’re hosting an educational exhibit to put forward all the good reasons Texas should reduce penalties for low-level marijuana possession. (Details.​)

We’re more than halfway to our crowdfunding goal. Will you pitch in toward our efforts at the Capitol?​ (Thank you!)
