The Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday advanced a bill to study the potential impact of legalized medical marijuana in the state, WJHL reports. The committee approved SB667 with amendments by a vote of 5-3. The bill would ask the Tennessee Department of Health to study the licensure and regulation of medical cannabis in neighboring states and report back to the General Assembly by Dec. 15. A previously proposed bill that would have directly legalized the use of medical marijuana in the state failed in the Senate in March. The House Health Committee was scheduled to consider its version of the bill today.
