Marijuana: State and Tribal Control Act
A house committee must act next: committee consideration.
While the bill has bipartisan support, similar efforts have failed for years due to disagreements over federal regulations and social equity concerns.
Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committees on the Judiciary, and Transportation and Infrastructure, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Sent to a congressional committee for expert review. The committee decides whether this bill moves forward.
Introduced in House
The bill was officially filed and given a number. It now enters the legislative queue.
Rep. Dave Joyce and a bipartisan group reintroduced the STATES 2.0 Act, which would amend the Controlled Substances Act to remove criminal penalties for cannabis activities legal under state or tribal law, while also addressing interstate commerce and banking barriers.
The STATES 2.0 Act seeks to reconcile federal law with state-legal marijuana, providing banks and credit unions with the clarity needed to serve the industry without fear of federal prosecution or anti-money-laundering violations.
Former Rep. Greg Walden argues that the STATES 2.0 Act is the necessary next step after rescheduling, offering a federalist approach that respects state autonomy and provides certainty for businesses and law enforcement.
