Marijuana talks resume as Assembly discusses delaying Friday proceedings
Update: After this story was published, the Assembly cancelled its Friday voting session and five committee meetings slated for the same day.
Lawmakers in the Senate reversed course Thursday after abandoning an effort to pass a marijuana cleanup bill they hope will convince Gov. Phil Murphy to sign legalization and decriminalization bills on his desk a day earlier, and Assembly leaders are discussing delaying proceedings set for Friday to provide more time for negotiations, the New Jersey Globe has learned.
