TRENTON - The New Jersey Cannabis Regulatory Commission is finally holding its first meeting, nearly two years after it was established.
The CRC is set to meet at 2 p.m. Monday, where its five members will begin the process of overseeing legal weed, medical marijuana and the industries expected to grow around them.
The agenda for the meeting, held virtually, is light. CRC chairwoman Dianna Houneou and executive director Jeff Brown will make remarks. The panel will elect a vice chair. They will adopt an official logo and set a meeting schedule.
The five members of the CRC are:
Houneou, chair: Senior policy adviser to Gov. Phil Murphy, and a former policy director with the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey, where she helped craft the 2019 proposed marijuana legalization bills that laid the groundwork for the laws now enacted.
TRENTON – The state has reached an agreement on a consent decree with the U.S. Department of Justice that is likely to result in federal monitors overseeing changes at the long-troubled Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women.
Corrections Commissioner Marcus Hicks, whose resignation or impeachment has been demanded by lawmakers in the wake of the beatings of prisoners at Edna Mahan in mid-January, revealed the pending settlement in testimony Thursday before a joint session of two Assembly committees.
“That agreement is awaiting final approval from DOJ headquarters, which we expect to receive in the coming weeks,” Hicks said.
The consent decree follows a Justice Department report from a year ago that found numerous civil-rights violations at the women’s prison. The state this week announced it had agreed to pay nearly $21 million to settle civil lawsuits filed in connection with sexual assaults at the prison dating to 2014.

In a move state officials say will boost transparency in law enforcement and push New Jersey to the forefront of the police reform movement, the state Attorney General s Office on Tuesday launched a detailed website that will catalog every use of force by every police officer in the Garden State.
The data, which state officials started collecting in October 2020, will allow members of the public, researchers and the media to review the details of each incident. This includes the officer’s name; the age, race and gender of the person against whom force was used; whether that person sustained injuries and what type; what kind of force the officer used and what circumstances led to the confrontation, according to New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal.
