Procedural ruling kills medical marijuana bill in SC House

(AP Photo/Jeffrey Collins, File) (Jeffrey Collins)COLUMBIA, S.C. — (AP) — A seven-year fight to pass a medical marijuana bill may have abruptly ended Wednesday in South Carolina when a House leader ruled the proposal contains an unconstitutional tax increase and cannot be considered further. The Republican said he would spend Wednesday night looking for some other bill he might be able to attach a medical marijuana plan to that wouldn't get caught up in such a ruling. Davis' bill started in the Senate and — after considering the point for nearly three hours — Pope ruled the bill was out of order, killing it. House members voted 59-55 to back Pope's ruling, meaning this medical marijuana bill is dead for this year. House Minority Leader Todd Rutherford said if Pope sticks to his ruling, it would destroy decades of work between the Senate and House.
