AN ACT CONCERNING THE CONSUMPTION OF CANNABIS IN A MOTOR VEHICLE.

HB 5692 would treat cannabis use in vehicles similarly to alcohol by allowing police to stop vehicles based on cannabis odor or observation of consumption. It requires separate tracking of cannabis-related driving incidents and establishes a legal blood THC level for DUI charges, while mandating consent for blood testing to retain a driver's license. The bill directly affects drivers, passengers, and law enforcement by expanding stop-and-search authority and creating new data collection requirements. These changes aim to standardize enforcement of cannabis-impaired driving laws alongside existing alcohol regulations.
