ATEMENT ON THE SUBJECT: In November of 2016, voters approved Proposition 64, the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act (AUMA). AUMA legalized the recreational use of marijuana in California for individuals 21 years of age and older. Proposition 64 also provides that a portion of the tax revenue from the cultivation and retail sale of cannabis or cannabis products will be appropriated. Section 34019 of the Revenue and Taxation Code (RTC), relating to cannabis, was amended by Senate Bill No. 141, CH. 18, in June 2025. For administration of funding, the RTC states:
To t
he Board of State and Community Corrections for making grants to local governments to assist with law enforcement, fire protection, or other local programs addressing public health and safety associated with the implementation of the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act. A local government shall be eligible for a grant only if it either allows the retail sale of cannabis in storefronts or, for jurisdictions with a population of 10,000 residents or less, allows cannabis delivery in the jurisdiction that serves both medicinal and adult-use consumers.
The B
oard of State and Community Corrections shall prioritize grant awards for local governments whose grant application includes illicit cannabis enforcement. The board may award grants both competitively and based on a formula to provide consistent and ongoing funding for local governments to implement the programs described in this subparagraph. (Rev. & Tax Code, § 34019, subd. (f)(3)(C).) O
n February 13, 2026, the Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) released a Notice of Funds Availability (NOFA) and a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a grant program that directs revenue from the cultivation and sale of cannabis to projects that promote public health and safety.
