(Salem, OR) -- Using illegal drugs on public transit will be a Class A misdemeanor under a bill that passed the Oregon Legislature. It only covers people using drugs on trains or buses. Illegal use of drugs on transit platforms or stops will be covered by another bill that is recriminalizing drug use. A Class A misdemeanor carries a potential one year in jail. TriMet says this will give law enforcement the tool they need to support security efforts on public transit. The bill now goes to the Governor.
