Hoyer Statement on the SAFE Banking Act WASHINGTON, DC – House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today ahead of House consideration of the SAFE Banking Act: “I am proud to bring this legislation to the Floor, but I believe it does not go far enough. This must be a first step toward the decriminalization and de-scheduling of marijuana, which has led to the prosecution and incarceration of far too many of our fellow Americans for possession. A number of bills have been introduced to address this issue – by Rep. Barbara Lee, Chairman Jerry Nadler, Caucus Chairman Jeffries, and others. I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues to make progress on this issue and reform federal marijuana laws, including de-scheduling marijuana and providing relief to individuals and communities disproportionally affected by racial biases in the way federal marijuana laws have been enforced.” Visit www.majorityleader.gov for more press, floor and member resources. unsubscribe from all lists | update subscription preferences Office of the Majority Leader H-107 The Capitol Washington, DC 20515
