As Pennsylvania Democrats ramp up pressure to Republicans to allow a vote on marijuana legalization in the state Senate, a group of House members have filed a new bill that would prioritize issuing licenses to small, diverse and disadvantaged businesses through the state’s existing medical cannabis program.
The legislation, from Rep. Nathan Davidson (D) and seven cosponsors, would expand the medical marijuana program by adding an additional dispensary permit in each geographic region of the state to a disadvantaged, diverse or small business.
