WASHINGTON—Today, House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) announced a markup for Wednesday, September 20 at 10:00am ET. At the markup, the Oversight Committee will consider bipartisan legislation, the D.C. Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus Revitalization Act, to transfer the administrative jurisdiction over the RFK stadium site from the Secretary of the Interior to the Administrator of the General Services Administration (GSA), allowing the District of Columbia to revitalize the RFK Memorial stadium campus site. Additionally, the panel will consider several bills that reform the federal government hiring and procurement process, improve government transparency, and modernize federal government IT.

•  
• H.R. 5040, the Cannabis Users Restoration of Eligibility (CURE) Act: The bill prevents prior marijuana use from becoming grounds for failing to receive security clearance or for being found unsuitable for federal employment. The CURE Act will also allow for someone who has previously been denied a security clearance or a federal job opportunity based on marijuana use the chance to have that denial reviewed.

Gov in the U.S. does not work. and once the cannabis industry sees the light,  they need to unite and should and need to talk to our Gay friends that went through this battle and won a majority of states for gay marriage and used that leverage to present their case to

5040 Aye - 30, No - 14 in favour of reporting, looks like a slam dunk, political momentum has shifted imho.

Anonymous - With today’s committee vote on the #CUREAct, we now have a new baseline for the @HouseGOP . Not since the Rohrabacher (patient protections) Amdt. in 2014 has a GOP-led House passed pro-cannabis legislation. This is a big deal and bodes well for future reforms, and #SAFEBanking.
