Governor Scott Expands Special Session to Include Medical Marijuana

Posted on June 7, 2017

Governor Rick Scott issued a proclamation to expand the ongoing special session to include medical marijuana. Click HERE to view the proclamation.
Governor Scott said, “Medical marijuana was approved by 71 percent of Florida voters in 2016, and I believe that it is the role of the Florida Legislature to determine how to best implement this approved constitutional amendment. I am glad that both the Florida Senate and House are moving toward crafting legislation to help patients, and I have added medical marijuana to the call for special session.
“I know many members of the Legislature, including Senate President Joe Negron and Speaker Richard Corcoran, have worked hard on implementing Amendment 2 and I look forward to the Legislature passing a bill this week that puts Florida patients first.”
