Pennsylvania is set to become the latest state to legalize medical marijuana, with the legislature sending a bill to the governor on Wednesday after parents of children suffering from debilitating seizures urged lawmakers to act.

The House vote, 149-46, set off cheers in the ornate chamber and capped several years of door-to-door lobbying by parents. It’s more than a year and a half since the state Senate first approved a medical marijuana bill in 2014. Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf, calling Wednesday’s legislation historic, said he will sign it Sunday.

Meanwhile, in Ohio, lawmakers promised to legalize medical marijuana by the summer, before voters get a chance to decide a ballot question in the fall election.

Pennsylvania would become the 24th state to legalize a comprehensive medical marijuana program, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
