COLUMBUS, Ohio —

Ohio lawmakers have passed a bill that would make changes to Ohio's marijuana and intoxicating hemp laws and policies.

The bill, Senate Bill 56, passed the Senate 22-7 and now heads to Gov. Mike DeWine's desk. Advertisement

One thing the bill would do is essentially place Ohio's adult-use marijuana program under the the Division of Cannabis Control which already regulates the medical marijuana program.

One change from the bill is regarding improper transportation, making it a serious violation that can result in both civil and criminal penalties, depending on the nature and severity of the violation.

The bill maintains federal interstate commerce restrictions, making it illegal to transport marijuana across state lines, regardless of its legal status in other states.
