Ordinance 032-2016Commissioner Neugent
ORDINANCE NO. 032 - 2016
AN ORDINANCE OF THE MONROE COUNTY BOARD OF
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS CREATING SECTION 17 -7 OF THE
MONROE COUNTY CODE, PROHIBITING THE POSSESSION OF
CANNABIS (MARIJUANA) BY ADULTS IN AMOUNTS OF
TWENTY (20) GRAMS OR LESS AND THE POSSESSION OF DRUG
PARAPHERNALIA RELATED TO THE INGESTION OF
CANNABIS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR
REPEAL OF LAWS IN CONFLICT; PROVIDING FOR INCLUSION
IN THE CODE OF LAWS AND ORDINANCES; AND PROVIDING
FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, under Article VIII, § 1(f), Fla. Const., the Board of County
Commissioners has the authority to legislate on any matter that impacts the health, safety and
welfare of its citizens on a county -wide basis except where a municipality has adopted an
ordinance in conflict with the County Code or where otherwise prohibited by state law; and
WHEREAS, §§ 893.13(6)(b), 893.146, and 893.147(1)(b), Fla. Stat. prohibit a person
from possessing small amounts of marijuana and paraphernalia, which impose punishments for
those convicted of incarceration for up to a year, fines of up to $1,000.00, and revocation of
driver licenses for up to a year; and
WHEREAS, the Board finds that the public interest would be served by providing an
alternative to such penalties that do not result in a criminal record; and
WHEREAS, § 775.08(2), Fla. Stat. expressly excludes violations of county ordinances
from the definitions of the terms "misdemeanor" and "non- criminal violation" and by
implication from the definition of the term "crime" therefore a violation of a county ordinance
is not necessarily a crime or criminal offense in the state of Florida, see Op. Att'y Gen. Fla. 76-
192 (1976); and
WHEREAS, although not "crimes," § 943.051(2), Fla. Stat. and Fla. Admin. Code R.
11C- 4.003(1) expressly require law enforcement agencies to capture biometric data (e.g.
fingerprints) on any adult arrested for or convicted of a violation of a County ordinance
comparable to a violation of a State statute, which generates a criminal record; and
WHEREAS, for violations specified in this Ordinance, law enforcement officers shall
have the discretion to charge alleged adult offenders under a County ordinance in lieu of
charging those offenders under similar provisions of state law; and
WHEREAS, because the Legislature has already established a mechanism for
punishing juvenile offenders in a manner different than adults, the Board expressly excludes
juvenile offenders from the class of offenders eligible to be charged under this ordinance; and

Commissioner Neugent
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners finds that the public interest would
be best served by enacting an Ordinance that allows a court of competent jurisdiction to impose
non - criminal penalties for offenses such as possession of marijuana under twenty (20) grams
and for possession of drug paraphernalia associated with ingesting marijuana that would not
create a criminal record.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA, AS FOLLOWS:
[Words added are shown with underlining Words deleted are shown with strike thfo ugh ]
SECTION 1. A new Section 17 -7 of the Monroe County Code, entitled "Personal
Possession of Marijuana" is created, which shall read as follows:
Sec. 17 -7. Personal Possession of Mariivana.
(a) Definitions. The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this section,
shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this subsection, except where the
context clearly indicates a different meaning_
(1) Adult shall mean any person 18 years of age or older.
(2) Cannabis shall mean all parts of any plant of the genus Cannabis,
whether growing or not; the seeds thereof; the resin extracted from any
part of the plant; and every compound, manufacture, salt, derivative,
mixture, or preparation of the plant or its seeds or resin. The term does
not include "low -THC cannabis," as defined in F.S. 381.986, if
manufactured, possessed, sold, purchased, delivered, distributed, or
dispensed, in conformance with F.S. 381.986.
(3) Marijuana shall have the same meaning as the term "cannabis ".
(4) Drug paraphernalia shall have the same meaning as that term has been
defined in & 893.145, Fla. Stat. In determining whether an object is drug,
paraphernalia, a court or other authority or jury shall consider, in
addition to all other logically relevant factors, the factors identified in
893.146, Fla. Stat.
(b) Prohibition. No adult shall possess:
(1) Cannabis (Marijuana) in an amount of twenty(20) grams or less, as set
forth in § 893.13(6)(b), Fla. Stat.; or

and 893.147(1)(b). Fla. Stat.
(c) Enforcement and Remedies.
(1) The Monroe County Sheriff and deputies, any municipal police officer,
and any other law enforcement officer authorized to enforce County
ordinances shall have the authority to enforce the provisions of this
section by means of the issuance of a citation to the alleged violator.
(2) Applicability. A law enforcement officer may not charge a person in
violation of this prohibition if the officer also intends to charge the
person with violating a comparable state statute for the same event, as
referenced in Section 17- 7(b)(1) and (2).
Page 2 of 4

Commissioner Neugent
(3) The citation shall contain at least the following:
(a) The date and time of issuance;
(b) The name and address of the person to whom the citation
was issued;
(c) The date on which the infraction was occurred;
(d) The name and title of the law enforcement officer or code
enforcement officer:
(e) The procedure for the person to follow in order to pay the
penalty or to contest the citation;
(f) The applicable penalty if the person elects to contest the
citation;
(g) A conspicuous statement that if the person fails to pay the

court to contest the citation, or fails to appear in court, as
required by the citation, the person shall be deemed to
have waived his right to contest the citation, and that, in
such case, judgment may be entered against the person
for an amount up to the maximum civil penalty of
$500.00. In addition, if a person fails to pay the civil
penalty, or fails to appear in court to contest the citation,
or fails to appear in court as required by the citation the
court may issue an order to show cause upon the request
of the governing body of the county. This order shall
require such persons to appear before the court to explain
why action on the citation has not been taken. If any
person who is issued such order fails to appear in
response to the court's directive, that person may be held
in contempt of court.
(4) Any person who willfully refuses to sign and accept a citation shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor of the second degree, punishable as provided in
U 775.082 or 775.083. Fla. Stat.
(d) Penalty. Upon conviction, any person violating this section shall be punished as
provided by law.

a violation shall be a fine in the amount of at least $100.00 but not to
exceed $500.00.
(2) Civil Infraction. Violations of any provision of this section shall
constitute a civil infraction.
(3) Court cost, surcharges and other special charges. Court costs,

circuit court in the same manner and amounts as provided for class 1
non - criminal violations.
