New Jersey cannabis regulators last week once again fined a large cannabis operator and chastised others for alleged union violations, while legislative sources say the president of the state Senate has been unhappy with those moves by the Cannabis Regulatory Commission and may seek to change how itâs structured.
State Senate President Nick Scutari, D-Union, has mulled pushing a bill to revamp parts of the commission â including possibly making it part-time â during the state Legislatureâs current lame-duck session, according to two legislative sources with direct knowledge of the situation who were granted anonymity to speak candidly about the issue.
One source, however, said itâs âgoing to be toughâ to get this done before lame duck ends Jan. 9 and the newly elected state Legislature is sworn in. The source noted there may be ethical questions about potential changes.
