The bill H.128 proposes amendments to the existing law regarding unlawful drug activity in a dwelling, specifically targeting individuals who are not legal tenants. It mandates that when a person is arraigned for such unlawful activity, the State's Attorney is required to request that the individual be prohibited from coming within a fixed distance of the dwelling as a condition of their release. This change emphasizes a more stringent approach to managing drug-related offenses in residential areas.

Additionally, the bill specifies that individuals cited or arrested for selling or dispensing regulated drugs must be arraigned on the next business day if the alleged activity occurred in a dwelling where they are not a legal tenant. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2025. The proposed changes aim to enhance public safety and reduce the potential for further unlawful activity in residential settings.
