Budget Round | Initial Bill |
Category | New general fund spending initiatives |
Region | None |
Description
Provides the "Woodrum" appropriation for legislation proposed by the Governor. The proposed legislation would classify synthetic cannabinoids as a Schedule I controlled substances. Currently, most offenses involving synthetic cannabinoids are misdemeanors or a Class 6 felony. All offenses involving Schedule I substances are felonies, which carry higher sentences. State law requires that any legislation that would result in an increase in the prison population over the succeeding six years from its enactment be accompanied by an appropriation that would cover the increased costs in one year resulting from additional inmates. (This is often referred to as the "Woodrum amendment".) |
