BOSTON (AP) - A six-member House-Senate conference committee has been selected to try and come up with a compromise bill to revamp the voter-approved recreational marijuana law.
Legislative leaders assigned the panel Friday after the House formally rejected the Senate version of the bill.
The House conferees are Democrats Mark Cusack and Ron Mariano, the House Majority Leader, and Republican Hannah Kane.
The Senate negotiators are Democrats Patricia Jehlen and William Brownsberger, and Republican Vinny deMacedo.
Cusack and Jehlen were the co-chairs of a Marijuana Policy Committee that spent months reviewing the law that makes recreational pot legal for adults. But the House and Senate went separate ways in the past week, the House passing an extensive overhaul of the law while the Senate opted for a more modest set of revisions.
