Senate passes marijuana bill, but Lamont vows a veto

Senate passes marijuana bill, but Lamont vows a veto by Susan Haigh, The Associated Press Posted Jun 15, 2021 7:16 pm EDT Last Updated Jun 15, 2021 at 7:27 pm EDT HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) The Connecticut Senate on Tuesday passed legislation for the second time in about a week that legalizes the recreational use of cannabis for adults. But Gov. Ned Lamont is threatening to veto the retooled bill, arguing it opens the industry up to tens of thousands of people previously illegible to get priority for licenses. Shortly before the bill cleared the Senate on a 19-to-12 vote, during the first day of a two-day special legislative session, Paul Mounds, the Democratic governor’s chief of staff, issued a statement promising Lamont would nix the bill if it reaches his desk in its current form. The House is scheduled to take up the same legislation on Wednesday.

Mounds said the bill, which was amended twice on Tuesday, allows just about anyone with a history of cannabis crimes or a member of their family, regardless of their financial means, who was once arrested for possession of drugs to be considered an equity applicants. They would be given, Mounds argued, the same weight as someone from a neighborhood hit hard by the war on drugs. That is not equity, and Governor Lamont will veto this bill if it reaches his desk in its current form, Mounds said. Sen. Gary Winfield, D-New Haven, the co-chairman of the General Assembly s Judiciary Committee and a lead proponent of the legislation, acknowledged that a late change made to the bill on Tuesday perhaps opens the gates further than many people had imagined when it comes to determining who gets priority for marijuana-related licenses.
