REQUESTING THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS TO REMOVE CANNABIS FROM THE FEDERAL CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES ACT, PROVIDE SUPPORT TO STATES THAT ARE CLEARING DEFENDANTS' RECORDS OF CANNABIS OFFENSES, AND FACILITATE ACCESS TO THE FULL SPECTRUM OF BANKING SERVICES FOR CANNABIS-RELATED BUSINESSES.

This House resolution from Hawaii asks the U.S. Congress to remove cannabis from the federal Controlled Substances Act, which currently classifies it as an illegal drug nationwide. The bill also requests federal support for states that are expunging or sealing criminal records for past cannabis offenses and seeks to allow cannabis-related businesses to access full banking services, including deposit insurance. While the resolution does not directly change federal law, it formally urges federal lawmakers to consider these policy changes to align federal rules with state legalization efforts in many parts of the country.
