.@RepDanBishop's amendment would not allow the MORE Act be enacted until DOT developed a way to test if drivers impaired by marijuana use — the research for that is already underway, and could take years longer. The amendment gives the DOT 180 days. amendments-rules.house.gov/amendments/12.…
Florida @RepMattGaetz's amendment would remove the social equity funding, programs, grants and studies from the bill.
Gaetz has already voted for the MORE Act, in the judiciary committee last year. He's told me that he is more pro-STATES Act, however.

Rep @justinamash's amendment replaces the entire bill... and TBH I'm not going to go through it line by line in the next 30 min.
Summary says it removes "federal involvement/interference" in weed industry, regulation and taxes.

Note: @RepJerryNadler's housekeeping amendment adds language to make sure #cannabis record expungements are only avail. for non-violent marijuana offenders, and not "leaders and organizers (“kingpins”) convicted of Federal marijuana offenses."
