201-896-7115 dmckillop@sh-law.comBelow is a brief summary of certain highlights within the latest version of Senate Bill 2703, the cannabis legalization bill sponsored by Senator Scutari and Senator Sweeney, as revised by the New Jersey Senate Judiciary Committee:
Governor Murphy, Senator Scutari and Senator Sweeney have previously sought to schedule a vote on Senate Bill 2703 in September, but ongoing negotiations regarding the tax provisions of the bill will likely delay any vote until October. Regardless of the timing, this iteration of the recreational marijuana legalization bill appears to be close to what the final product will look like.
The Scarinci Hollenbeck Cannabis Law Practice group will be continuously tracking the status of Senate Bill 2703. We encourage current and prospective members of the New Jersey cannabis industry to check back regularly for updates.
If you have any questions or if you would like to discuss the matter further, please contact me, Dan McKillop, at 201-806-3364.
