Senator Reveals Groundbreaking Cannabis Bill
A Pennsylvania lawmaker on Wednesday announced plans to introduce new legislation to legalize adult-use cannabis in the commonwealth after a legalization bill approved by the State House failed to make it out of committee in the State Senate.
State Sen. Marty Flynn, a Democrat representing portions of Luzerne and Lackawanna counties, announced the forthcoming legislation last week. His new bill will propose a different breakdown in how tax revenue is allocated and change how the industry would be regulated compared to the last bill.
The memo said the bill would utilize an "independent commission" made up of representatives from various state departments, the attorney general's office, and State Police. The most recent failed General Assembly bill to legalize marijuana in the state used a controversial "state store" model that would have required all buying and selling to be done at stores run by the Liquor Control Board.
