“State Attorney General Derek Schmidt filed a lawsuit with the state Supreme Court Friday seeking to halt the city of Wichita from enacting a voter-approved initiative lessening marijuana possession penalties. Fifty-four percent of Wichita voters approved the measure last Tuesday. The municipal ordinance reduces penalties for first-time marijuana possession offenses (up to one ounce) to a civil infraction punishable by a $50.00 fine. It also prohibits the Wichita Police Department and the judges of the Wichita Municipal Court from reporting convictions under the new ordinance to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation. State law punishes marijuana possession by up to one year in jail and a $2,500 fine.”
