Senator Nicholas Scutari testified before the Senate Budget Committee, where he spoke in support of a bill sponsored by him and Senate President Steve Sweeney (S-2703) to legalize the possession and use of recreational marijuana for people age 21 and over, as well as establish a Division of Marijuana Enforcement and licensing structure.
