俄勒冈州正在重新将毒品定为犯罪。 这是波特兰学到的东西。 Oregon Is Recriminalizing Drugs. Here’s What Portland Learned.
俄勒冈州州长蒂娜·科特克签署了一项法案，推翻了 2020 年选民批准的硬性毒品非刑事化倡议的部分内容。 Oregon Governor Tina Kotek has signed a bill that reverses parts of the 2020 voter-approved initiative to decriminalize hard drugs. 新立法重新将持有毒品定为刑事犯罪，引入了不同程度的监禁的新毒品轻罪，并允许各县决定是否对刑事指控提供治疗。 The new legislation re-criminalizes drug possession, introduces a new drug misdemeanor with different levels of jail time, and allows counties to decide whether to offer treatment over criminal charges. 该法律立即生效，但新的刑事指控将于 9 月 1 日生效，为俄勒冈州司法部提供准备时间。 The law takes immediate effect, but the new criminal charges will come into force on September 1, providing time for the Oregon Justice Department to prepare.
