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 with greater authority to address cannabis-related offenses without the limitations currently imposed by the law. By repealing these restrictions, the bill aims to facilitate more proactive policing regarding cannabis use while also allowing any evidence obtained during these stops to be admissible in legal proceedings.
