Relating to creating the criminal offense of operating a premises for unlawful controlled substance consumption.

HB 288 would create a new criminal offense for operating a premises (such as a building or location) where individuals use illegal drugs without authorization. It directly affects property owners, managers, or operators who knowingly allow such activity on their property. The key provision would criminalize running a location specifically for unlawful drug use, with penalties to be determined by law. This bill targets locations serving as hubs for drug activity rather than individual users.
