Congresswoman Jacky Rosen is a co-sponsor of H.R. 975, the Respect State Marijuana Laws Act, a bipartisan bill that would prohibit federal prosecution of individuals for marijuana possession, so long as they follow their state’s marijuana laws. Rosen says “Nevada’s legalization of recreational marijuana in 2016 has resulted in millions of dollars in new revenue for Nevada’s state budget and thousands of new jobs that have helped grow our local economy.” She says The Justice Department should not change its enforcement priorities to start going after individuals or small businesses who are operating legally in our state. Rosen also co-sponsored a separate bipartisan amendment to prohibit federal funds from being used to penalize financial institutions that serve legal marijuana businesses.
