Last reviewed: Nov. 13, 2026. Compiled from MPP's 2026 reform tracker, LawSignals, Marijuana Moment and law-firm alerts. Congress.gov and GovTrack blocked automated access during this review, so federal bill numbers were NOT checked against Congress.gov. Status labels follow the source linked on each row. Most legislatures have adjourned for 2026; many 2027 sessions open in January, so new filings will follow.
28 enacted, 1 passed one step, 16 pending, filed or carried over, and 53 dead or superseded across the rows below.
Federal
| Bill | What it does | Status |
|---|---|---|

| H.R. 10504 | Federal employment and past marijuana use Would bar denials of federal jobs or security clearances over past marijuana use. Three cosponsors as of Nov. 11, 2026. | Pending |
| H.R. 7024 | Hemp Planting Predictability Act Would have delayed the hemp THC product ban to Nov. 12, 2028. Overtaken by the delay in the funding law below. | Superseded |

| Public Law 119-37 and a Sept. 2026 funding law | Federal hemp definition change and delay Narrowed the hemp definition. Marijuana Moment reported on Sept. 2, 2026 that a funding bill delaying the ban passed Congress. Secondary sources give conflicting effective dates (Nov. 12 for non-natural cannabinoids, Dec. 11 for the total-THC standard). Read our hemp-rules explainer and confirm in the statute. | Enacted (dates unverified) |

Methodology and limits
Status labels come from the linked trackers and news reports, not from the legislatures' own records. Congress.gov and GovTrack blocked automated reads, so federal bill numbers marked from secondary summaries need a check on Congress.gov. Where sources disagreed we say so. A state showing no bills means none was confirmed, not that none exist. Always confirm with the official bill page before relying on a status.
