It’s ba-a-a-ck. Polished to a diamond gleam by Rep. Osienski. We’re talking HB 1, which:
…removes all penalties for use or possession of a personal use quantity of marijuana and marijuana accessories. It further specifies that the adult sharing of a personal use quantity or less of marijuana is legal activity for those 21 years of age or older and that those 21 or older may possess, use, display, purchase, or transport accessories and personal use quantities of marijuana without penalty. When transporting in a vehicle, those items must be in a closed container or otherwise not readily accessible to anyone inside the vehicle.
First on today’s House Agenda. This, of course, will be the freebie vote. It will pass. It will pass in the Senate. Perhaps John Carney has read all those reports that he claimed not to have read last year, and will sign the bill. I kid, I kid. Delaware’s Worst Governor Of All-Time will do nothing of the sort. Meaning, the fate of legalization resides with certain cowardly and/or disingenuous legislators. Just like it did last session. Keep a jaundiced eye on the following: Sean Matthews, Stephanie Bolden, Stell Parker Shelby, Mike Ramone and Michael Smith. I figure that Speaker Pete, Lumpy Carson and Bill Bush are lost causes. Even if any of them vote yes today, they’ll be with Carney when the vote to override comes around.
The Senate has no posted Agenda today.
Only one House Committee meeting today. But it contains the ‘Digital Right To Repair’ bill. A good bill that could have been a great bill. Unfortunately, the automotive industry got its greedy paws on it, and this was the result:
“This amendment inserts language excluding motor vehicle manufacturers, manufacturers of motor vehicle equipment, and motor vehicle dealers from the bill.”
Lest you had any doubt who the legislators really represent.
Huge committee day tomorrow. See ya then.
