We introduced you all to Senate Bill 3 back in March and there have been several discussions in Columbus since then. But it’s looking like talks about this bill will have to continue into 2020. Senate Bill 3 hopes to reform how drug offenders are sentenced in Ohio. The bi-partisan bill would lessen the penalty for certain drug-possession felonies to misdemeanors. It would also tighten up on trafficking charges. The two Ohio senators who introduced the bill believe more treatment is the key.
