Hartford, CT - Friday was the deadline for lawmakers to submit bills for this year's legislative session.

There are hundreds of them. The focus this session will be on ways to save money and create revenue as the state faces a deficit of well over a billion dollars.

The state needs to cut its expenses and look at ways to bring in more money.

Once again, they are looking at marijuana.

It's a growing business in Connecticut. The number of marijuana dispensaries and growers have expanded to meet the demands of patients.

Connecticut allows marijuana for medical use, but lawmakers will again consider legalizing it for recreational use. Taxing it could bring in millions, which is something the state needs but it is controversial.

This year there will be an informational hearing.
