Committee releases A4760 allowing some non‑intoxicating products at cannabis retailers after split vote
Summary
A4760 was released by the Assembly Committee on Oversight on a 4–2 vote after members raised questions about the retail "vibe" and municipal revenue implications; two members voted no citing lack of testimony and remaining questions.
The Assembly Committee on Oversight voted to release A4760, a bill that permits cannabis retailers to sell certain non‑intoxicating products in store, but did so after a divided roll call.
The clerk read the bill into the record. Committee members were asked for comment; no outside witnesses had submitted testimony. Assemblyman Enganimore said he wished there had been testifiers because he had "a couple good questions in mind" including concerns about the "vibe" created when outdoor retail operations sell cannabis and how municipalities would receive and manage revenue from the industry.
Assemblyman Meyer said he would vote no, expressing concerns about unanswered questions on industry revenue and the possibility of increased litigation and consumer‑safety consequences if policy moved forward without additional information.
The committee moved and seconded a motion to release A4760. On roll call the votes were: Assemblyman Meyer — no; Assemblyman Enganimore — no; Assemblyman Miller — yes; Assemblywoman McCance D'Amato — yes; Vice Chair Freiman — yes; Chairman Atkins — yes. The chair announced the bill was released.
Committee members who spoke requested that members with substantive questions reach out to the sponsor for follow‑up; no amendments or formal conditions were recorded during the hearing.
The bill will continue to the next legislative stage with noted dissent recorded in the committee minutes.
