Quick Glance: Oregon Governor Signs Law Recriminalizing Drug Possession
- Oregon's Democratic Governor, Tina Kotek, signed a law that recriminalizes the possession of small amounts of drugs, putting an end to an initial experiment with decriminalization.

- According to Kotek, the success of the law relies on close coordination between courts, police, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and local mental health providers to achieve the intended goals.
- The changes will be effective on September 1 after Oregon Democrats shifted their stance on decriminalization due to pressures from the fentanyl crisis and implementation issues.
