#DumbLaws:

Alabama: Medical cannabis is legal on paper,

But patients still can’t legally buy it.

The law exists, the system doesn’t.

Committee questions port grant language change; bill laid over Senate File 4124 would replace a 'non-federal share' reference with 'total cost' in port development grant language to help ports fully leverage federal funds. Testimony from the Duluth Seaway Port Authority prompted concerns about state exposure; members laid the bill over for further work.

Senate File 4124 aims to revolutionize port funding by eliminating confusing restrictions that leave millions in state grants unspent, but lawmakers are raising critical questions about the potential risks involved.

MetroTex: Farmers Branch inventory low, median prices in $300K–$399K range; state bills could reshape options MetroTex Realtors told Farmers Branch council that December snapshots show months of inventory at about 2.4 and a median price in the $300,000–$399,000 range, that active listings and closed sales are down, and that state bills on adaptive use and disclosure could affect local housing options over time.

Farmers Branch is facing a tight housing market with median prices in the $300K–$399K range, but state policies could change the game for local buyers.
