House hearing on Tennessee medical marijuana bill postponed; Senate hearing scheduled

Published: April 18, 2005

Tomorrow's hearing on the Tennessee Medical Marijuana Act (H.B. 968) in the House Mental Health Subcommittee has been postponed. In the meantime, we need you to help build up for the hearing on S.B. 1942, which will be held on Wednesday, April 27, in room 7 of the legislative plaza in Nashville. The hearing starts at 9:30 a.m., and S.B. 1942 could be heard anytime between then and 11:00 a.m. We will update you when a definite time has been set.

For now, though, please take a moment to call the members of the Senate General Welfare, Health and Human Resources Committee to politely urge them to support S.B. 1942.
