Michigan's Senators are taking a break from their summer break.
They'll be back in Lansing tomorrow.
The day will bring meetings of several committees and the full Senate might take a vote on a pair of bills dealing with medical marijuana and how to get it.
Jake Neher is the Lansing reporter for the Michigan Public Radio Network.
He said the first bill will allow local communities to say whether or not they want medical marijuana dispensaries and how to regulate them.
The second bill will change the state's medical marijuana act to allow patients to use edible and other non-smokeable forms of medical marijuana.
Neher said that the Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville originally was not interest in expanding the medical marijuana act, but after months of speaking with communities, he changed his mind.
The bills will be voted on in committee, but not in the full Senate.
Neher said there won’t be any movement towards fixing roads. They will look at trying to set up an early warning system for deficit school districts. Another bill being looked at tomorrow would ease driver responsibility fees.
