DEA Act

S 2909, the "Deferring Executive Authority Act" (DEA Act), requires the Attorney General to submit a report to Congress before any federal rule can reschedule marijuana under the Controlled Substances Act. Congress can then disapprove the rule within 60 days using a joint resolution, preventing the scheduling change from taking effect. This procedural bill directly affects the Attorney General's authority to alter marijuana's federal classification and gives Congress a 60-day window to block such changes. It does not change marijuana's legal status but establishes a review process for scheduling decisions.
