Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law prohibits a person from manufacturing, distributing, or delivering
marijuana; possessing marijuana with the intent to manufacture, distribute, or
deliver it; possessing or attempting to possess marijuana; using drug paraphernalia;
or possessing drug paraphernalia with the intent to produce, distribute, or use a
controlled substance. This bill changes state law so that state law permits both
recreational use of marijuana and medical use of marijuana.
First, with respect to recreational use of marijuana, this bill changes state law
to permit a Wisconsin resident who is over the age of 21 to possess no more than
one-half an ounce of marijuana and to permit a nonresident of Wisconsin who is over
the age of 21 to possess no more than a quarter ounce of marijuana. Generally, a
person who possesses more than the maximum amount he or she is allowed to
possess, but not more than 28 grams of marijuana is subject to a civil forfeiture not
to exceed $1,000 or imprisonment not to exceed 90 days or both. A person who
possesses more than 28 grams of marijuana is guilty of a Class B misdemeanor,
except that, if the person takes action to hide the amount of marijuana he or she has
and the person has in place a security system to alert him or her to the presence of
law enforcement, a method of intimidation, or a trap that could injure or kill a person
approaching the area containing the marijuana, the person is guilty of a Class I
felony.
This bill prohibits the sale for recreational use of product intended for human
consumption that contains marijuana or marijuana extracts and that is edible. This
bill prohibits the sale of marijuana for recreational use via mail, telephone, or
Internet. A person who violates either of these prohibitions is guilty of a Class A
misdemeanor. This bill prohibits the use of marijuana in public. A person who
violates this prohibition is subject to a civil forfeiture of not more than $100. This
bill also eliminates the prohibition on possessing or using drug paraphernalia that
relates to marijuana consumption.
This bill also creates a process by which a person may obtain a permit to sell
marijuana for recreational use and pay a tax equal to 25 percent of the sales price.
Under this bill, a person who does not have a permit to sell marijuana may not sell,
distribute, or transfer marijuana, or possess marijuana with the intent to sell or
distribute it. A person who violates the prohibition is guilty of a Class I felony except
that the felony classification increases to a Class H felony if the person sells,
distributes, or transfers the marijuana to a person who is under the age of 21 (minor)
and the person is at least three years older than the minor. This bill prohibits a
permittee from selling, distributing, or transferring marijuana to a minor and from
permitting a minor to be on premises for which a permit is issued. If a permittee
violates one of those prohibitions, the permittee may be subject to a civil forfeiture
of not more than $500 and the permit may be suspended for up to 30 days. Under
this bill, a minor who does any of the following is subject to a forfeiture of not less than
$250 nor more than $500: procures or attempts to procure marijuana from a
permittee; falsely represents his or her age to receive marijuana from a permittee;
knowingly possesses marijuana for recreational use; or knowingly enters any
premises for which a permit has been issued without being accompanied by his or her
parent, guardian, or spouse who is at least 21 years of age.
In addition, under this bill, a person may obtain a permit for a $250 fee to
cultivate no more than 12 marijuana plants at one time. A permit is valid for one year
and may be renewed. A person without a permit who cultivates plants, and the
number of plants is not more than 12, is subject to a civil forfeiture that is no more
than twice the fee to obtain a permit. If any person cultivates more than 12 plants
at one time but not more than 24, the person is subject to a civil forfeiture not to
exceed $1,000 or imprisonment not to exceed 90 days or both. If any person cultivates
more than 24 plants at one time, the person is guilty of a Class B misdemeanor,
except that, if the person takes action to hide the number of plants he or she has and
the person has in place a security system to alert him or her to the presence of law
enforcement, a method of intimidation, or a trap that could injure or kill a person
approaching the area containing the plants, the person is guilty of a Class I felony.
With respect to the medical use of marijuana, this bill changes state law to
permit a person registered with the Department of Health Services (DHS) to use
marijuana for medical use to alleviate the symptoms or effects of a debilitating
medical condition or treatment. A person's primary caregiver also may acquire,
possess, cultivate, or transport marijuana for a person registered with DHS if it is
not practicable for the person to acquire, possess, cultivate, or transport marijuana
independently or the person is under the age of 18.
The bill requires DHS to establish a registry for persons who use marijuana for
medical use. Under the bill, a person may apply for a registry identification card by
submitting to DHS a signed application, a written certification by the person's
physician that the person has or is undergoing a debilitating medical condition or
treatment and that the potential benefits of the person's use of
tetrahydrocannabinols would likely outweigh the health risks for the person, and a
registration fee of not more than $150. DHS must verify the information and issue
the person a registry identification card. A registry identification card is generally
valid for two years and may be renewed. DHS may not disclose that it has issued to
a person a registry identification card, or information from an application for one,
except to a law enforcement agency for the purpose of verifying that a person
possesses a valid registry identification card. This bill also requires DHS to
promulgate a rule listing other jurisdictions that allow the medical use of marijuana
by a visiting person or allow a person to assist with a person's medical use of
marijuana. This bill treats documents issued by these entities the same as registry
identification cards issued by DHS.
The bill requires DHS to license and regulate nonprofit corporations, known as
compassion centers, that distribute or deliver marijuana or drug paraphernalia or
possess or manufacture marijuana or drug paraphernalia with the intent to deliver
or distribute to facilitate the medical use of marijuana. This bill prohibits
compassion centers from being located within 500 feet of a school, prohibits a
compassion center from distributing to a person more than 12 live marijuana plants
and three ounces of usable marijuana (maximum medicinal amount), and prohibits
an organization from possessing a quantity that exceeds, by an amount determined
by DHS, the total maximum medicinal amount of marijuana of all of the persons it
serves. An applicant for a license must pay an initial application fee of $250, and a
compassion center must pay an annual fee of $5,000. This bill also requires DHS to
register entities as tetrahydrocannabinols-testing laboratories. The laboratories
must test marijuana for contaminants; research findings on the use of medical
marijuana; and provide training on safe and efficient cultivation, harvesting,
packaging, labeling, and distribution of marijuana, security and inventory
accountability, and research on medical marijuana.
Finally, under current law, a person may not operate a vehicle with a detectable
amount of a restricted controlled substance, which includes
delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), in his or her blood, regardless of impairment.
Penalties for violating this provision increase with the number of violations. Under
this bill, a person may not operate a vehicle with a THC concentration of 5.0 ng/mL
or more, instead of a detectable amount, in his or her blood. This bill does not change
the penalty structure.
This bill changes state law regarding marijuana. It does not affect federal law,
which generally prohibits persons from manufacturing, delivering, or possessing
marijuana and applies to both intrastate and interstate violations.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
