Albany, New York:​ New York State lawmakers introduced S.854A/A.1248A, an amended version of the Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act (“MRTA”). This legislation championed by Senator Krueger and Assemblywoman Peoples-Stokes since 2013 embodies most of the core-principles of marijuana justice and consumer rights. For more than a decade, advocates have worked towards this goal, and Senator Krueger believes all that work will come to inception, and this bill may get a vote as early as this week.
