Relating to the Department of State Police.
SB 492 creates a new division within Oregon's Department of State Police dedicated to enforcing state laws against illegal marijuana cultivation. This division will specifically target unlawful production activities as defined in Oregon law (ORS 475C.009 and 475C.379), such as unauthorized growing operations. The bill directly affects the Department of State Police by establishing this new enforcement unit and impacts individuals or entities engaging in illegal cultivation. It does not change marijuana laws but adds a specialized police unit to address existing illegal activity.
