Latest Action: Senate - 04/04/2022 Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance. This bill has the status Passed House.

After House passage, the Senate only referred the bill to Finance; there is no enactment in the official record, so the promise remained unresolved after the House vote.

Sponsor: Rep. Nadler, Jerrold [D-NY-12] (Introduced 09/20/2023). Latest Action: House - 12/17/2024 Referred to the Subcommittee on Trade. This bill has the status Introduced. Summary: the MORE Act decriminalizes marijuana, creates a trust fund for communities impacted by the war on drugs, and prohibits denial of certain federal public benefits based on cannabis-related conduct or convictions.

The latest official MORE Act iteration remained only introduced and was still moving through House referral in late 2024; no official enactment appears in the record, so the commitment is still unresolved and there was no concrete completion signal in the 30-day lookback.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

Nadler materially advanced the promise by sponsoring the MORE Act, which would have created reinvestment funding for communities harmed by the War on Drugs and provided expungement-related cannabis relief, and he got a House passage vote in April 2022. But the bill did not become law, later iterations also remained unpassed, and the promised federal outcome was not delivered. Under the rule for serious but unsuccessful legislative attempts, this counts as never delivered with effort credit.
