Bill > HR5977

This bill, the States Reform Act, proposes the following key provisions: It would decriminalize cannabis at the federal level, removing it from the Controlled Substances Act, and defer to state authority over cannabis prohibition. It would regulate cannabis similarly to alcohol, with the Food and Drug Administration, Department of Agriculture, and Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau overseeing different aspects of cannabis regulation. The bill would also establish a program to certify "designated state medical cannabis products" that could be sold in interstate commerce, create nondiscrimination provisions for small business lending related to cannabis, impose a federal cannabis excise tax, and include provisions related to veterans' access to and use of medical cannabis. The bill also includes various technical and conforming amendments to existing laws.
