标 题: The MORE Act voted 24-10

On Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee took one of the biggest steps in
marijuana legislation on Capitol Hill yet. The committee voted to approve H
.R. 3884, the Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act.
The MORE Act would:
Remove the marijuana plant from the federal Controlled Substances Act,
retroactively applying to prior or pending convictions and allowing states
to set their own policies;
Require federal courts to expunge prior marijuana-related convictions and
requiring courts, on motion, to conduct re-sentencing hearings for those
under supervision;
Permit VA doctors, or VA-contracted doctors, to make recommendations to
qualifying veterans who live in states where marijuana use is legal;
Authorizes a 5 percent excise tax on marijuana and marijuana products whose
revenue will go to grants to communities disproportionately impacted by drug
enforcement, loans for small marijuana-industry businesses owned by
socially and economically disadvantaged people;
Allow the Small Business Administration to provide funding for cannabis-
related businesses;
Provides non-discrimination protections for marijuana use or possession and
for prior convictions related to marijuana;
Requires the Bureau of Labor and Statistics to study marijuana industry
demographics to ensure people of color and economically disadvantaged people
are able to participate in the industry.
The committee voted 24-10 to advance the bill.
The bill still needs a vote from the entire House before it passes to the
Senate. If it is approved in the Senate, it moves on to the president's desk
for final approval to become law. | W*****B
