Help us pass the Jacki Rickert Medical Marijuana Act in early 2010!

The Jacki Rickert Medical Marijuana Act circulated for co-sponsors October 2, 2009-October 22, 2009. The press conference was held November 16, 2009.

A combined hearing was held by two Wisconsin State Legislature Committees on December 15.: the Assembly Committee on Public Health and the Senate Committee on Health, Health Insurance, Privacy, Property Tax Relief, and Revenue. The committees must now vote on the bill. This will not likely occur until January. A vote from the Senate committee is anticipated to come first. In the meantime, supporters need to contact committee members whose position is unknown or against.
