This excerpt is from Governor Phil Murphy’s address to the League Delegates Luncheon of the New Jersey State League of Municipalities Annual Conference in Atlantic City on Nov. 15:

I know that some of you have already taken steps in your communities to prevent such sales once I sign a legalization bill into law – and, make no mistake, assuming the Legislature gets it to me, I will.
