Description

Portland police arrested this man on allegations of drug possession on Sept. 2, 2024, the day after Oregon upgraded drug possession to a misdemeanor. It had been a non-criminal violation under Measure 110, which was approved by voters in 2020. (File photo)

A bill that would have granted judges the discretion to lower the seriousness of some misdemeanor offenses — so they would no longer be crimes but instead “violations” punishable by fines — died in committee this week.
