Marijuana in Federal Housing: Ending Discrimination for State-Compliant Use

This bill aims to protect individuals who use marijuana in compliance with state law from being denied access to federally assisted housing. This means that legal marijuana use in a given state will not be a basis for exclusion from federal housing programs. These changes seek to ensure equal access to housing for all citizens, regardless of their state-compliant marijuana use.
Key points
Individuals using marijuana in compliance with state law cannot be denied federally assisted housing.
Marijuana-related activities compliant with state law will not be considered drug-related criminal activity for federal housing purposes.
Housing agencies cannot deny admission to housing programs due to legal marijuana use.
The Secretary cannot prohibit or discourage state-compliant marijuana activities in federally assisted housing.
Regulations will be issued to restrict marijuana smoking in federally assisted housing in the same manner as tobacco smoking.
