A $5.4 million spending bill filed by Gov. Charlie Baker late Friday would set aside $2 million for the Department of Public Health to run a public awareness campaign ahead of the start of retail marijuana sales in July, and make "minor amendments" to recreational and medical marijuana laws.
The supplemental budget also includes $3.4 million to fund a collective bargaining agreement ratified by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.
Baker, in a filing letter to the Legislature, said the bill includes "a number of minor amendments and corrections to the statutes regulating adult use marijuana and medical use marijuana in the Commonwealth."
