Details hammered out on New York’s marijuana bill

State officials said Saturday that they’ve come to a final agreement on the legislative language needed to legalize pot in New York.

State Sen. Liz Krueger (D-Manhattan) announced the deal on the amended Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act Saturday night. The bill, which is expected to come up for a vote next week, will split revenues from the state’s marijuana industry between schools and public educations, communities “disproportionately impacted by the drug war,” and drug treatment, prevention and education programs, Krueger said.
