Legislative sources expect Murphy to sign marijuana bills despite lasting concerns
The latest cleanup bill, introduced in the Senate Thursday and due for a committee vote Tuesday, does away with stationhouse adjustments and curbside warnings, intervention methods for underage marijuana users that brought objections from members of the Legislative Black and Latino Caucuses, in favor written warnings for marijuana users under the age of 18 that eventually graduate to community service or a fine of up to $50.
Those aged 18, 19 or 20 would be subject to the fine on their first offense without the option of community service.
