Proposes constitutional amendment to dedicate tax revenue from legal sale of recreational marijuana for mental health, addiction recovery and drug rehabilitation services.
ACR 76 proposes a constitutional amendment requiring New Jersey to dedicate all tax revenue from recreational marijuana sales exclusively to mental health, addiction recovery, and drug rehabilitation services. The amendment would mandate that these funds be set aside in a special account within the state budget and used only for these specific health services, with no diversion to other state programs allowed. If approved by voters, this change would become part of New Jersey's constitution, ensuring ongoing funding for these services through marijuana tax revenue. The proposal must be submitted to voters at the next general election following legislative approval.
