Marijuana Bill Passes

On October 23, in a special session, the Maine House and Senate passed the revised marijuana bill, but the votes fell short of the two-thirds majority that would be required to override Governor LePage’s threatened veto. LePage has ten days within which to sign the bill, veto it, or let it become law without his signature. He supported a measure that was defeated that would have extended the current moratorium.

The bill’s text is availableĀ here.
