Drive on: New Virginia law changes punishment for marijuana possession
http://wavy.com/2017/06/26/drive-on-new-virginia-law-changes-punishment-for-marijuana-possession/
“When a defendant is able to maintain their license, then they’re also able to complete their community service more effectively. They’re able to get to work, to get their children to school and to complete whatever is required in their sentence so that they can move on from this infraction.”
Thank you to Senator Adam Ebbin and Delegate Les Adams for patroning this much needed legislation.
It will allow a judge to opt for additional community service instead of automatically suspending someone’s driver’s license for six months.
On Saturday, several new laws will go into effect in Virginia.
One will help more people keep their driver’s license after being charged with marijuana possession. It will allow a judge to opt for additional community service instead of automatically suspending someone’s driver’s license for six months. HB 2051 / SB 1091 impacts adults who were not operating a vehicle at the time of the offense. http://wric.com/2017/06/26/drive-on-new-virginia-law-changes-punishment-for-marijuana-possession/
Every 50 seconds, a person is arrested for marijuana.
Take less time than that to send a message to your Representative to support HR 1227, the bipartisan Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act

There are stoned idiots since cannabis was cultivated. Slippery slope to "help" those that don't give a shit about others on the road if they're driving high. Stats from states that legalized that show revenue are misleading. Most of that tax money doesn't go to schools as promised. More roads. Research it.

'' it had bipartisan support''
HB 2051/SB 1091. Driver’s license; marijuana possession. The law revises the existing provision that
a person loses his driver’s license for six months when convicted of or placed on deferred disposition for
a drug offense to provide that the provision does not apply to deferred disposition of simple possession
of marijuana. The exception applies only to adults; juveniles will still be subject to license suspension.
The law provides that a court retains the discretion to suspend or revoke the driver’s license of a person
placed on deferred disposition for simple possession of marijuana and must suspend or revoke for six
months the driver’s license of such person who was operating a motor vehicle at the time of the offense.
The law also requires that such a person whose driver’s license is not suspended or revoked perform 50
hours of community service in addition to any community service ordered as part of the deferred
disposition. The provisions of the law are contingent upon written assurance from the U.S. Department
of Transportation that Virginia will not lose any federal funds as a result of implementation of the law. To see other laws going into effect July 1st in prison planet virginia click here http://dls.virginia.gov/pubs/idc/idc17.pdf
