CURE Act

This bill would change federal law so that past marijuana use could not be used to decide whether a person is eligible for a security clearance or suitable for federal employment. It would also remove marijuana from the definition of controlled substances used in the security clearance section of the law. Within one year of the law taking effect, each federal agency would have to set up a process, posted on its public website, to review denials of security clearances or federal jobs made on or after January 1, 2008. When a denied person asks for a review, the agency would have 90 days to decide whether the denial was based only on past marijuana use.
