The move faces Senate hurdles and Republican opposition, with lawmakers weighing fairness for seniors amid political campaigns.

California AG vows to enforce federal marijuana laws
Attorney General Eric Holder warned the federal government will vigorously enforce the Controlled Substances Act against those involved with marijuana for recreational use if California voters approve Prop 19. He cautioned the move would hinder joint law enforcement efforts and could invite a federal challenge, while state officials and advocates foresee a transition to a taxed new industry.
