An amendment could direct the Dallas Police Department to stop issuing citations or making arrests for low-level marijuana possession.
An amendment to the city’s charter could direct the Dallas Police Department to stop issuing citations or making arrests for Class A or Class B misdemeanor marijuana possession.
Council member Chad West plans to introduce on June 26 an amendment to the city’s charter that would direct the Dallas Police Department to stop issuing citations or making arrests for Class A or Class B misdemeanor marijuana possession. Several of his colleagues, including council members Adam Bazaldua, Zarin Gracey and Jaime Resendez are supporting the measure, according to a Friday news release.
The move to decriminalize marijuana would coincide with other debates that are likely to be taken up again on June 18. Earlier this week, council members spent over six hours discussing recommendations from the 15-member charter review commission along with some of their own. “By design, these roles have had very low salaries with the intent of independently wealthy people to hold these seats, which has created huge disparity in adequate representation from certain communities, especially whenever we observe a single-member district form of government,” Bazaldua said.
