HB 1623 -- a bill reducing penalties for possessing less than .25 ounces of marijuana from a class A misdemeanor (punishable by a fine of up to $2,000 or up to a year in jail) to a violation punishable by a $200 fine.

STATUS: HB 1623 made history March 18 and shocked the establishment when it passed the NH House by a 193-141 margin!

Sadly, the bill met with strong opposition from Senate leaders and the governor's office and was killed by the Senate.
