Act Now: Stop Vehicle Searches Based on Cannabis Odor!

SB42 now advances to the House floor — but as Tarver and others emphasized, the version that ultimately comes up for a vote is likely to look different than the one that passed committee.

Although committee approval moves the bill forward, several steps remain before it could become law. Tarver has committed to holding the bill on Second Reading to allow time for continued negotiations and possible amendments. From there, SB42 could proceed to a Third Reading with or without changes. If it passes without amendment, it would go directly to the Governor’s desk for approval or veto.

If the House adopts amendments, the bill would then return to the Senate for concurrence. Only if the Senate agrees to those changes would the bill move on to the Governor.
