San Bernardino County is sponsoring a bill in California’s Legislature that would increase the civil penalty for illegal cannabis cultivation from three to four times the existing license fee.
Assembly Bill 2728, introduced by Thurston Smith (R), would set a series of fines, starting at $500 per plant, up to $2500 for repeated violations. However, if the people fined submit their paperwork and register their business, their license fee would be paid in full and the penalties would be dropped.
