New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy has signed three bills into law – two of which are supposed to give students more incentive to pay off their college debts.
But what about the bill that many people have been waiting for – marijuana legalization – and appeared to be on its way toward becoming law until plans were recently scuttled at the last minute?
Three legislative sources told NJ Advance Media that discussions have started on separating the medical and legalization bills and reviewing them separately.
Lawmakers wanted to leverage the support of medical marijuana as a way to get recreational pot approved; since the legislation has stalled, however, legislators are looking for a backup plan, acording to NJ Advance Media.
