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 specified distance of the dwelling as a condition of their release. This change emphasizes a more stringent approach to managing drug-related offenses occurring in residential settings.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that individuals cited or arrested for selling or dispensing regulated drugs must be arraigned on the next business day following their citation or arrest, provided the alleged activity took place in a dwelling where they are not a legal tenant. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2025.
