Capitol Corner: Legislators report back from Juneau

The legislature is still crafting bills to govern how dispensary licenses are distributed and how tax revenue will be split

Marijuana has been legal in Ohio since December after Ohioans passed Issue 2 in November — prompting lawmakers in both chambers to come up with legislation to tweak the current law.

The Ohio Senate passed a bill in December with major changes to the marijuana law, but the Ohio House did not bring that bill to the floor on Wednesday.

It’s been one week since the Ohio Senate passed HB 86 – an amendment to Issue 2 that was added to a non-controversial bill regarding liquor control.

Marijuana is now legal in Ohio, but lawmakers are continuing to try and tinker with the law.

The Ohio Senate passed a bill Wednesday night with major changes to the law that the Ohio House could bring to the floor for a vote next week.

Concerns have been raised about the impact of a future marijuana dispensary coming to State Road in Cuyahoga Falls.

As the expected May 2024 application launch approaches, there are still a lot of unknowns when it comes to cannabis business licensing in Delaware.
