Coming down to the wire, both chambers of the New Jersey Legislature are scheduled to vote Monday on legalizing medical marijuana.
The Assembly on Thursday amended its bill to reflect months of negotiations over its version and that of the Senate. An Assembly committee last June tightened the Senate version approved last February, removing such provisions as allowing patients to grow marijuana at home.
Monday marks the final voting day of the 2008-09 session, before the 214th Legislature begins its work Jan. 12. A vote by the full Assembly is scheduled to be followed by a concurrence vote in the Senate, staff from the primary Assembly and Senate sponsors' offices said today.
