Drug Offense Penalties Eased
(KANSAS) (westernkansasnews.com) – The Kansas House moved to ease penalties on some small-time drug offenders and to take employers addresses off the state sex offender web site yesterday. House Bill 2318 would link the penalties for drug possession, to the amount of drugs actually possessed and would allow judges more discretion when sentencing low-level drug offenders who have a single prior conviction on their record, when they either possess small amounts of drugs for personal use or sell small quantities to support their own drug habit.
