With the session set to end at midnight Monday, a sense of urgency was setting in for supporters of bills that had not yet been passed by the General Assembly in the 90-day session.
Meanwhile, lawmakers continued working on legislation that creates licensing and tax rates to open a recreational marijuana market on July 1. In November, voters approved a constitutional amendment with 67% of the vote to enable adults ages 21 and older to be able to legally posses up to 1.5 ounces of cannabis.
One difference between the two chambers is the tax rate. The House measure would impose a 6% tax in the next fiscal year. It would go up 1% each year to maximum of 10% in fiscal year 2028. The Senate bill would put a 9% tax on recreational marijuana. Medical marijuana would remain untaxed. The court’s decision in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen ended a requirement for people to demonstrate a particular need to get a license to carry a concealed gun in public, saying it violates Second Amendment rights.
