HR 4963 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
To provide for the rescheduling of marijuana into schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act.
Summary
This bill directs the Attorney General to reschedule marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act within 60 days of enactment. Schedule III classification means the substance has accepted medical use and lower abuse potential compared to Schedule I drugs. The rescheduling would override the normal administrative procedures for changing drug classifications.
