Idaho House passes bill setting $300 minimum fine for possessing up to 3 ounces of marijuana.

The Idaho House has passed a bill, HB 7, establishing a $300 mandatory minimum fine for possessing up to 3 ounces of marijuana. The bill, supported by Rep. Bruce Skaug, passed 54-14 and is now headed to the Senate. Proponents argue it gives law enforcement a tool to combat marijuana use, while critics say it could harshly penalize minor offenders and limit judges' discretion.
