TRENTON — State lawmakers on Monday are scheduled to take the next steps in the process toward New Jersey marijuana legalization.
Bills to legalize marijuana in New Jersey, greatly expand the state's medical marijuana program and lay out a process for expunging criminal records for certain marijuana crimes are scheduled for a joint hearing before the Senate and Assembly budget committees.
The hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. in the Statehouse Annex.
If the bills are approved by the committees, New Jersey will be one step closer to authorizing legal weed by year's end.
