GRANTS PASS, Ore. (AP) — Three former Oregon state troopers are scrambling to keep alive a bill that would give police access to confidential lists of medical marijuana users and growers and make it harder for teenagers to use pot as medicine.
An aide to Republican Rep. Andy Olson of Albany says a bill will go to the House Rules Committee after failing to get through the normal committee process on the Senate side before Thursday’s deadline.
Saying the medical marijuana law approved by voters in 1998 is out of control, Olson and two other former state police in the Legislature have been working on a series of reforms.
Senate Judiciary Chairman Floyd Prozanski, a Eugene Democrat, says the proposal has not had the kind of public discussion needed to move forward.
