Marijuana in Federal Housing: New Rules for Residents
This bill aims to prevent individuals from being denied federally assisted housing solely for using marijuana in compliance with state law. This means that adhering to local marijuana regulations will not be a basis for exclusion from federal housing programs. These changes could impact access to housing for many citizens in states where marijuana is legal.
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 criminal activity for housing programs.
Public housing agencies cannot prohibit admission to programs for households with members using marijuana legally under state law.
The Secretary cannot discourage state-compliant marijuana activities in federally assisted housing.
