Bills regarding the Regulation and Taxation of Marijuana
This week the Senate and the
House of Representatives will be debating legislation regarding the
recreational use, regulation and taxation of marijuana. The House will consider
its version of this legislation on Wednesday, June 21 and the Senate will be
meeting Thursday, June 22. Given the probability of substantial differences
between each chamber’s version of the bill, a conference committee will most
likely be needed to reconcile these differences into a final piece of
legislation. Such a committee is comprised of three members of the House and
three members of the Senate.
