Mississippi HB1431 would authorize "time served" for possession of less than 3.5 ounces of marijuana.
Mississippi HB1431 amends the state's drug policy by revising the penalty for possession of marijuana when the amount is less than 3.5 ounces. Under the proposed law, individuals convicted of possessing less than 3.5 ounces of marijuana would be released as having "time served," meaning they would not serve additional jail time. This change aims to reduce the criminal record impact for minor marijuana possession offenses.
