The possible change was rejected despite the fact that more than half of Lockhart residents voted to decriminalize small amounts of weed late last year.

The Bastrop City Council denied a city charter amendment to decriminalize possession of low amounts of marijuana, which was passed by 70% of voters.

Lockhart City Council has voted to reject a resolution to decriminalize low-level marijuana offenses. In November, 68% of voters approved decriminalization.
