N.J. lawmakers pass bill to notify parents of child’s first marijuana, alcohol offense

Murphy, a Democrat, signed the legislation a day after the Democrat-led Legislature passed what lawmakers called a “cleanup” bill to correct last month’s law.

The push for legal weed remains mired in internal Democratic wrangling and is headed for a confrontation this Friday.
