California lawmakers seek to prohibit marijuana on commercial party buses and limousines amid concerns from law enforcement officials that the drug could impair drivers
The ban was proposed in thefor the year as an alternative to a competing bill that would have clarified that cannabis could be used in charter buses as long as nobody under age 21 was aboard and the driver compartment was sealed off from the smoking area.
Assemblyman Jim Frazier , the panel’s chairman, told his colleagues during Thursday’s floor session that the bill, which would make several changes to the law, is needed “to improve transportation policy in California.” The bill next goes to Gov. Gavin Newsom, who was a leading proponent of Proposition 64, the 2016 initiative approved by voters that legalized the growing, sale and possession of marijuana for recreational use.“As is typically the case with pending legislation, if and when a bill reaches the governor’s desk it will be evaluated on its own merits,” said Jesse Melgar, a spokesman for Newsom.
