Purpose:

The purpose of the Cannabis Tax Fund Grant Program (CTFGP) is to disperse grant funds from The Control, Regulate, and Tax Adult Use Marijuana Act (AUMA) to local governments and qualified nonprofit organizations for the education, prevention, and enforcement of impaired driving laws pursuant to Revenue and Taxation Code Section 34019.

Description:

With the passage of Proposition 64, the AUMA, in 2016 California voters mandated the state set aside funding for the California Highway Patrol (CHP).  It is the intent of the CHP to enhance traffic safety by administering AUMA grant funds to educate the public regarding the dangers of impaired driving, fund efforts to remove impaired drivers from the roadway, and advance research into impaired driving issues.

Toxicology Driving Under the Influence (DUI)/Driving Under the Influence of Drugs (DUID) laboratory grant funds shall be used to aide in the enforcement of traffic laws related to DUI of alcohol and other drugs, including cannabis and cannabis products. Toxicology projects may include the following project activities: Forensic alcohol and/or breath alcohol analysis for DUI prosecution conducted by Forensic Alcohol Laboratories, Controlled substances/drug chemistry analysis for DUID prosecution conducted by Forensic Toxicology Laboratories, eliminate backlog in the analysis of forensic science evidence, reduce turnaround time for sample testing, and purchase and/or upgrade equipment to improve testing capabilities.

Grant applications shall be submitted through the online Grant Management System (GMS).  Applications will be reviewed and approved through the GMS.  Notification of awards will be sent to the awarded grantees electronically.

Eligible cost categories include: Personnel, Travel, Equipment, Consultants/Contracts, and Other Direct Costs.
