The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6642, seeks to amend section 54-33p of the general statutes by removing specific cannabis-related restrictions that currently govern stops and searches of individuals or motor vehicles. The bill aims to eliminate the provisions that prevent law enforcement from stopping drivers based on suspected cannabis use and also removes the stipulation that evidence obtained from such stops or searches, if conducted in violation of the existing restrictions, cannot be used in court.

The intent of this legislation is to empower law enforcement officials by allowing them to conduct stops for suspected cannabis use without the limitations currently in place. By doing so, the bill aims to enhance the ability of police to enforce laws related to cannabis use while driving, thereby potentially increasing public safety on the roads.
