HRES 926 United States House · 119th Congress

RESPECT Resolution

HRES 926, the RESPECT Resolution, is a non-binding House resolution urging states to adopt equity-focused cannabis policies. It recommends specific actions to address racial disparities, including eliminating criminal penalties for cannabis possession, creating fairer business licensing (prioritizing communities harmed by past enforcement), automatically expunging cannabis convictions, and reinvesting tax revenue in affected communities. The resolution also calls for the U.S. to advocate at the United Nations for cannabis descheduling from international drug treaties. It directly affects states, localities, and communities disproportionately impacted by cannabis prohibition, particularly communities of color.
