Texas HB4879 establishes a grant program for local law enforcement agencies to test substances for delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol.

HB4879 amends the Texas Government Code to create a grant program administered by the criminal justice division. This program allows local law enforcement agencies to apply for grants to test substances suspected of containing delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) at concentrations exceeding 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis. Grant funds can be used for hiring, training, and retaining personnel, acquiring or upgrading testing technology, contracting with third-party labs, and upgrading record management systems.
