The MORE Act, a progressive bill that would essentially legalize cannabis federally, was re-introduced by Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.).
- The bill passed the House in December, though Nadler’s new version eliminates language, unpopular with liberals, which would have blocked those with past pot convictions from earning federal licenses.
- The bill is unlikely to pass the Senate, which is awaiting an alternative bill from Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.). Libertarian site Reason asks if Democrats realize they’ll need Republican support to pass a legalization bill.
Quick Hit
- A bill to allow consumption lounges advanced in Nevada.
