Moneys allocated by the state must be used to supplement, not supplant, other federal, state, local, or in-kind funds or resources used for methamphetamine task force operations and associated services.

Provides that grants awarded to local law enforcement agencies shall be used solely for the operating costs of methamphetamine task forces.

Makes an appropriation of one million dollars from the general fund to the department of community, trade, and economic development for the purposes of this act.
