Bill would reduce charge for possession of small amounts of pot
A bill that would reduce the penalty for people caught with small amounts of marijuana has again cleared a subcommittee in the Iowa Senate. Supporters say the bill will help Iowans who have difficulty qualifying for college scholarships, loans and jobs because of a marijuana possession conviction.
“We think it’s a small and measured approach to this issue,” Lisa Davis Cook of the Iowa Association for Justice said during a senate subcommittee hearing.

Senate Study Bill 1178 has the support of some law enforcement groups, whose representatives on Thursday said the bill adds needed protections for law enforcement officers. 
These provisions are necessary to ensure that we can hold our people accountable, but also to ensure that we have a reliable investigation and process, Skylar Limkemann, the attorney for the Iowa Fraternal Order of Police, said.  ....
