IdahoIdaho lawmakers urge residents to reject a medical cannabis ballot measure
Idaho lawmakers urge residents to reject efforts to put a medical cannabis proposal on the ballot and direct the Senate secretary to share the resolution with state and federal officials.
What it does
Idaho lawmakers urge residents to reject efforts to put the Idaho Medical Cannabis Act on the ballot. The resolution asks for rejection; it does not itself decide whether the proposal reaches voters.
The Secretary of the Senate is directed to send a copy of the resolution to the Governor, Attorney General, and Idaho’s congressional delegation.
Argument forIf residents reject the proposal, state agencies might avoid the added work and costs that the resolution says a statewide cannabis program would require.
Argument againstIf residents follow the resolution’s advice, they might lose a chance to decide through a ballot vote whether Idaho should adopt the medical cannabis proposal.
