UPDATE: Cannabis banking amendment could be debated on House floor as soon as tonight
After 10 min debate, there will be a voice vote. After that, any member can request a recorded vote, which would be expected Wed
If no one calls for the roll, it can pass on voice vote alone
That said, the debate might not happen tonight and would then slide into tomorrow. We just don’t know yet, but you know that @MarijuanaMoment will be monitoring the situation and breaking it down for you as soon as we can.
