Bill > HRes1244

This Resolution establishes the rules for considering House Bill 3884, which aims to decriminalize and deschedule cannabis, meaning to remove it from the list of controlled substances and reduce penalties for its possession. It also mandates reinvestment in communities and individuals negatively affected by past drug enforcement policies, often referred to as the "War on Drugs," and allows for the expungement, or clearing, of certain past cannabis-related offenses. The resolution waives all procedural objections to considering the bill and a specific modified amendment, streamlines the legislative process by deeming the bill as read and waiving further objections, and sets a limited time for debate and a single opportunity to send the bill back for further review.
