HB 5458: AN ACT PROHIBITING THE DIVISION OF STATE POLICE AND MUNICIPAL POLICE DEPARTMENTS FROM ACCEPTING CERTAIN FEDERAL GRANTS RELATED TO CANNABIS GROWN ON PRIVATE LAND.

This bill prohibits the Division of State Police and municipal police departments from accepting federal grants to conduct programs related to the surveillance, search for, or destruction of cannabis grown on private land. The law directly affects state and local law enforcement agencies by restricting their ability to use federally funded resources for these specific activities. It does not prevent police from performing these duties using state or local funds, nor does it change existing laws regarding cannabis enforcement. The restriction takes effect on October 1, 2026, and applies only to grant-funded programs rather than general police operations.
