Councilwoman Guidry will provide update on 2016’s Marijuana Reform Ordinance 

The New Orleans City Council Criminal Justice Committee will meet at 2 p.m. Tuesday (March 27) in the New Orleans City Council Chambers, 1300 Perdido St., to discuss the LEAD Program, a pre-booking diversion program piloted in the NOPD’s 8th District.

 The committee meeting is opened to the public. A complete list of presenters and topics are listed on the attached agenda.
