WI Republicans introduce medical marijuana bill after Gov. Evers voices support
Fox News
Wisconsin Republicans have introduced a limited plan to legalize medical marijuana in the state, following Democratic Gov. Tony Evers' recent support for the idea.
Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos has said that the program detailed in the bill announced Monday was as far as Assembly Republicans could go. Republicans hold a 64-35 majority in the Assembly and a 22-11 advantage in the Senate. Last year, Republican Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu said a bill to create a medical marijuana program could pass this legislative session — as long as regulations are put forward to ensure that it would be limited to only those who are in serious pain.
