Bill > HR6807

This bill, the Marijuana in Federally Assisted Housing Parity Act of 2025, aims to prevent individuals from being denied occupancy in federally assisted housing solely because they use marijuana in accordance with their state's laws. It proposes to amend existing laws, including the United States Housing Act of 1937 and the Quality Housing and Work Responsibility Act of 1998, to clarify that certain activities related to marijuana, such as its manufacture, sale, distribution, or use, will not be considered drug-related criminal activity or illegal use of a controlled substance if they comply with the laws of the state where they occur. The bill also specifies that a public housing agency or owner of federally assisted housing cannot prohibit admission based on household members engaging in marijuana-related activities that are legal under state law. Furthermore, it directs the Secretary to issue regulations restricting marijuana smoking in federally assisted housing in the same way tobacco smoking is restricted, creating "smoke-free zones." The term "marijuana" is defined as it is in the Controlled Substances Act, and "State" is broadly defined to include the District of Columbia and U.S. territories.
