Vote Yes on this bill if you want low-level drug possession cases diverted into treatment and supervision before charges, leading to fewer prosecutions and criminal records and more access to help.

Organizations that support this bill may include public health and addiction recovery groups, criminal justice reform and civil rights organizations, community service providers, and some prosecutors who favor treatment over prosecution for simple possession.

Vote No on this bill if you want to keep prosecuting simple possession and use cases in court and avoid expanding pre-charge diversion programs run with social service agencies.

Organizations that oppose this bill may include some law enforcement unions, tough-on-crime advocacy groups, and anti-drug coalitions concerned about reduced deterrence and accountability.
