WHAT THE MEASURE DOES: Requires the Department of Justice to conduct a study of laws of Oregon that would need to be amended should the voters of Oregon vote on November 4, 2014 to legalize the possession, sale, distribution and production of marijuana.
BACKGROUND: The Legislative Assembly has before it a bill, Senate Bill 1556, that would refer to the voters an initiative that would direct the 2015 Legislative Assembly to “enact laws that define, limit or otherwise regulate the possession, transfer, production and taxation of marijuana that are not otherwise defined, limited and regulated by the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act.” In addition, there are currently three proposed initiatives relating to marijuana, initiatives 21, 22 and 37.
