NY Senate votes to curb K2 use while driving

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - The chamber passed dozens of bills Monday including one intended to crack down on motorists who drive under the influence of synthetic marijuana or other illicit, lab-created drugs. That bill, which now moves to the Assembly, makes it illegal to operate a vehicle while impaired by any designer or synthetic drug.
  
Work in the Senate ground to a halt last week when Democrats and Republicans refused to work together to pass bills. Republicans control the Senate but currently do not have a working majority, giving both parties the power to block anything the other party wants to do.
  
Lawmakers plan to adjourn for the year June 20.
