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.
