Liberalized SI faces Senate vote today in major crime bill
A sweeping bill before senators would decriminalize possession of 10 grams or less of marijuana at state or local levels and set minimum penalties for drug trafficking and weapon use. It would finance a crime victims program from fines, expand non citizen rights, curb overly harsh federal sentencing, and revive several disused laws while trimming wiretap and obscenity provisions. The measure, tied to broader welfare and budget issues, seeks to curb sentencing disparities and standardize guidelines via a new commission.
