Pritzker signs bills expanding state’s medical marijuana law

Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker celebrated a pair of new laws Monday that expand the state’s medical marijuana program, including one that gives students more options for taking the drug at school. One of the bills expands a 2018 law known as “Ashley’s Law,” which authorizes schools to allow parents, guardians or other caregivers to administer cannabis-infused products to a student.

David McSweeney said he will either sponsor or co-sponsor some version of a measure overturning the moratorium former Gov. Pat Quinn placed on capital punishment eight years ago.
