Bill > SB2229

This bill amends the State Finance Act to increase the percentage of cannabis-related tax revenue transferred to the Local Government Distributive Fund from 8% to 15%. Specifically, the bill directs that the funds allocated to each county under this provision must be placed in a fund controlled by the county's sheriff. These funds are intended to support crime prevention programs, training, and interdiction efforts focused on addressing the illegal cannabis market and preventing driving under the influence of cannabis. The bill also adjusts the percentage of cannabis tax revenue transferred to the General Revenue Fund, reducing it from 35% to 28%. The changes aim to provide more local resources for law enforcement and cannabis-related prevention efforts while slightly modifying the overall distribution of cannabis tax revenues across different state funds. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law.
