New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) said the state is "still on track" to launch recreational marijuana sales by the end of the year. “We’re going to make sure that this is a model for the rest of the nation – especially with our desire to make sure that people who’ve been affected by the criminal justice system adversely ... have the opportunity to work in this area,” Hochul said. (October 2022)

"Today, New York takes an important step forward in creating jobs and opportunity for those who, historically, have been disproportionately targeted for cannabis infractions," Governor Hochul said. "As we create a new industry in New York, I am proud to see real progress in addressing the economic needs of our future entrepreneurs." 6/22/22
