House Members Introduce Cannabis, ATF Bills

Republican House Members have begun to introduce cannabis-related legislation, signaling this will be a topic of interest in the 118th Congress. Last week, Congressman Alex Mooney (R-WV) introduced H.R.363, a bill that would protect gun rights for registered medical cannabis users. Congressman Greg Steube (R-FL) also reintroduced H.R.394, which would provide safe harbor to veterans who use cannabis in states where it is legally permitted.

Last week, Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) introduced H.R.374, a bill that would abolish the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF). This legislative effort gives a glimpse into how some Republicans are thinking about federal regulatory oversight of businesses.
