Always look at the amendments...

The amendment attached to this bill is probably a "poison pill amendment". The bill itself plays well PR-wise. But the amendment probably contains language politically damaging to the opposition party.

I went to look up the amendments, of which there was only one, which seems to have been accepted:

https://www.congress.gov/amendment/117th-congress/house-amen...

which, on its face, looks pretty boring, but that amendment includes this bill:

https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-resolutio...

which decriminalizes cannabis federally.

I'm not saying anything one way or another, but it's rather interesting this hasn't been mentioned.
