HB 3242 revises Texas' marijuana and drug paraphernalia laws, reducing penalties for low-level possession and establishing alternative enforcement methods. It prohibits the arrest of individuals for possessing one ounce or less of marijuana or certain synthetic cannabinoids, requiring officers to issue a citation instead of making an arrest. It also introduces automatic expunction procedures for low-level drug offenses under certain conditions. Additionally, the bill amends penalty group classifications for certain tetrahydrocannabinols and synthetic cannabinoids, aligning penalties with their chemical structure. A $30 expunction fee is included for individuals seeking record-clearing under this law.
