Occurrences
Evidence
Mr. Carter of Louisiana (for himself and Mr. Reschenthaler) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Financial Services. The bill text states it would 'amend the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to create a safe harbor for national securities exchanges to list the securities of issuers that are cannabis-related legitimate businesses.'
The bill text includes the purpose 'to amend the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to create a safe harbor for national securities exchanges to list the securities of issuers that are cannabis-related legitimate businesses.'
The Congressional Record records: 'CARTER of Louisiana (for himself and Mr. Reschenthaler): H.R. 8200. A bill to amend any applicable federal law ... and to amend the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to create a safe harbor for national securities exchanges to list the securities of issuers that are cannabis-related legitimate businesses; to the Committee on Financial Services.'
Assessments
The claim matches H.R. 8200, introduced in the 117th Congress by Rep. Troy Carter for himself and Rep. Reschenthaler, to create a safe harbor for national securities exchanges to list securities of cannabis-related legitimate businesses. That shows Reschenthaler materially advanced the promised policy through formal legislation. However, the evidence only shows introduction and referral to committee, with no passage in Congress and no enactment into law. Because there was a serious legislative attempt but the promised outcome was not delivered, the appropriate judgment is never with an effort badge.
