INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indiana senators have postponed plans to discuss a bill that would create a study on whether Indiana should legalize marijuana.
Senate officials say the bill was inadvertently added to Thursday's schedule but will instead be debated in the coming weeks.
The proposal floated by Democratic Sen. Karen Tallian of Portage would direct the criminal law and sentencing study committee to examine Indiana's marijuana laws next summer and make recommendations. Other states have decriminalized small amounts of marijuana or created medical marijuana programs, and Tallian says it's time for Indiana to start the discussion.
Democrats are far outnumbered in the Senate. But Republican Senate Corrections Committee Chairman Brent Steele of Bedford says he'll give Tallian's proposal a legislative hearing even though he can't imagine a conservative state like Indiana legalizing marijuana.
