Senate kills marijuana decriminalization bill in California
In Sacramento the Senate defeated Assemblyman Alan Sieroty's marijuana reform bill 17 to 21. The measure would have made personal possession a misdemeanor with up to six months in jail or a $500 fine, while sales penalties stayed unchanged. The chamber may reconsider, but Sieroty said the bill is dead for the session.
