A New Jersey state senator said he’s taking the next step toward voiding Gov. Chris Christie’s proposed strict medical marijuana regulations, after the Christie administration missed yesterday’s deadline to submit a new version of them.

A hearing on the issue has now been scheduled for Jan. 20 before the state Senate’s health committee.

That’s the next step in a process to force an administration to redo regulations. After the hearing, lawmakers could vote to require the Republican governor’s administration to write new rules, said state Sen. Nicholas Scutari (D-Linden).
