A medical marijuana bill has cleared a Nebraska legislative committee and heads to the full legislature for debate, though it doesn’t look much like the bill that was introduced this session.
Senator Tommy Garrett of Bellevue still recognizes his bill…but.
A re-shaped medical marijuana bill has been approved by the Judiciary Committee on a 7-to-1 vote.
It now is modeled after Minnesota law, enacted last year.
Garrett says the bill could undergo even more revision once it hits the floor for debate…and possible amendment.
The bill would guide manufacturers on production of medical marijuana and set restrictions on its use. The Department of Health and Human Services would write specific rules and regulations.
