Conditional release:
The state allows conditional release or alternative or diversion
sentencing for people facing their first prosecutions. Usually,
conditional release lets a person opt for probation rather than
trial. After successfully completing probation, the individual's
criminal record does not reflect the charge.
Marijuana tax stamps:
This state has a marijuana tax stamp law enacted.
This law mandates that those who possess marijuana are legally required to purchase and affix state-issued stamps
onto his or her contraband. Failure to do so may result in a fine and/or criminal sanction.
