Support the CURE Act (Cannabis Users' Restoration of Eligibility Act)
To: Sen. Lee, Sen. Curtis, Rep. Moore
From: A verified voter in Layton, UT
September 19
I am writing as a constituent to urge you to co-sponsor and support the bipartisan Cannabis Users' Restoration of Eligibility (CURE) Act, introduced by Representatives Jamie Raskin and Zach Nunn.
This commonsense legislation ensures that past marijuana use alone cannot be used to deny individuals suitability for federal employment or eligibility for a security clearance. It also establishes a review process for agencies to re-evaluate past clearance and employment denials based solely on past cannabis use.
Outdated suitability policies create unnecessary administrative barriers that prevent federal agencies and contractors from recruiting and retaining top-tier talent. Updating these standards helps keep the federal government competitive while keeping security evaluations focused on real risk factors.
I strongly encourage you to join your colleagues in co-sponsoring and supporting the CURE Act. Thank you for your leadership and service to our district.
