To this point, state lawmakers have focused on mid-November when considering potential dates for a special session on medical marijuana.
But now, officials are saying there could be a hitch with the original scheduling plan.
November is still in the cards if Proposition 2 founders, but if the cannabis measure passes, the special session will probably have to wait until the following month.
The reason is somewhat technical: If Prop 2 succeeds, lawmakers will want to reshape it to line up with the consensus proposal rolled out by officials and advocates last month. However, they can’t start tinkering with initiative language until it becomes law.
