Senate and Assembly approve a plan to make it easier to erase past criminal convictions. They're looking at possible changes to medical marijuana bill.

Final legislative approval of medical marijuana expansion is likely June 10. Senate tweaked the bill to further encourage the industry's workers to unionize.

Marijuana will not be legalized for use by adults in New Jersey any time soon, with the idea now delayed until decided by a voter referendum in November 2020.

No sooner was the text of the marijuana legalization bill made public than changes to it started being made Thursday. Backers say it's clean-up, nothing major.

It's not feasible to automatically erase past drug convictions as part of making marijuana legal for use by adults, says Gov. Phil Murphy.

But major hurdles remain about getting the proposed measure passed in the Assembly and State Senate.

There will be 71 school districts from all across New Jersey getting bused to the state house tomorrow for Governor Phil Murphy's budget address.

Lawmakers again consider allowing terminally ill patients to obtain a lethal prescription from their doctors that they could use to end their life.

New Jersey's elected leaders reached agreement on a $15 minimum wage – by 2024 for most, 2026 for seasonal and small-biz workers and 2027 for farm workers.

Gov. Phil Murphy says his agenda for 2019 starts with the things that didn’t get done in 2018 – and that could include another dose of 'tax fairness.'

Lawmakers will cast their first votes Monday on incrementally raising the minimum wage, but final approval wouldn’t come until the Jan. 31 at the earliest.

It's looking doubtful that a bill to legalize marijuana in Jersey will even be introduced this year.
