LITTLE ROCK — The Senate on Thursday approved two bills imposing requirements and limitations on the state's medical-marijuana program.
In a 31-1 vote, senators approved and sent to the governor House Bill 1400 by Rep. Robin Lundstrum, R-Springdale.
The bill would ban smoking marijuana anywhere tobacco smoking is banned or in the presence of a person under age 14, in a vehicle, in the presence of a woman the smoker knows is pregnant, or in a place where a person not authorized to use marijuana likely would become under the influence of marijuana, such as a small, enclosed space.
The measure also would ban anyone under age 21 from smoking medical marijuana.
HB 1400 passed 88-0 in the House last week.
