What this bill does
H.R. 10504, also known as the Cannabis Users' Restoration of Eligibility Act (CURE Act), proposes to amend existing law to prevent past marijuana use from being a sole basis for denying a security clearance or suitability for federal employment. If enacted, individuals seeking or holding security clearances, or applying for federal jobs, would be protected from adverse decisions solely due to their prior marijuana use.
The bill specifically targets individuals who have been denied a security clearance or federal employment based on past marijuana use. It mandates that federal agencies establish a process to review such decisions made since January 1, 2008. Agencies would be required to reconsider these past denials if they were based solely on marijuana use, and this review process would need to be publicly accessible.
Introduced in the House of Representatives on September 17, 2026, the bill has been referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. As of this reporting, its latest action is simply "Introduced." The bill would need to pass the House, then the Senate, and be signed by the President to become law.
