The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has recently withdrawn exemptions for certain consumer-style grenades, such as flashbang and smoke grenades, citing public safety risks. Previously exempted under the regulation at 27 CFR § 555.32, these devices are now subject to stringent federal explosives regulations. This notification aims to guide manufacturers, distributors, and consumers on the updated requirements for handling these special explosive devices (SEDs) to ensure compliance and enhance public safety.
K.L. Security specializes in providing police departments with high-security storage solutions that meet the guidelines and standards set by the ATF. Our offerings include Type 2 indoor and outdoor magazines as well as Type 3 day boxes, ensuring that your department’s explosive devices are stored safely and securely. These products are specifically designed to minimize risks and ensure full compliance with federal regulations.

The New York State Education Department (NYSED) mandates that secure examination materials be stored in locked Regents boxes. These locked Regents boxes must then be placed in a NYSED-approved safe or walk-in vault that meets all the listed specifications below.
Newly constructed vaults, modified existing vaults, or recently purchased safes must be inspected by a NYSED representative and approved by the department before secure materials can be stored.
Safes must meet or exceed Underwriters Laboratories (UL) TL-30 Safe performance standards for burglary resistance and must have:
Steel door at least 1 ½” thick
Steel walls at least 1” thick
Minimum weight of 750 lbs.
Built-in combination lock
Sufficient capacity to store the locked Regents boxes or the school’s largest examination request (minimum acceptable unobstructed inside dimensions of 11”H x 20”W x 27”D to store one Regents box)
Walk-In Vaults must meet all of the following criteria:
Poured concrete floor
No windows or access panels
Walls of reinforced cement block or concrete sealed to a poured concrete floor below with structural floor or roof deck above
Metal door in a metal frame with interior or welded-pin hinges
Built-in dead-latch (deadbolt) with combination or key lock that allows exiting at all times

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear has signed House Bill 829 into law, expediting the licensing process for medical cannabis businesses. Originally set for January 1, 2025, the new timeline allows applicants to start the licensing process on July 1, 2024. This accelerated timeline is designed to help businesses start operations sooner, meeting the rising demand for medical cannabis.
New Restrictions on Patient Access
While the expedited licensing process is beneficial, the new law introduces several restrictive measures for patients:
Criminal Background Checks: Patients must undergo background checks to join the state’s cannabis registry. Those with certain criminal records are disqualified.
School Restrictions: School administrators can prohibit registered students from accessing medical cannabis products on school grounds.
Prescription History Review: Physicians must perform a comprehensive review of a patient’s prescription history before issuing a medical cannabis recommendation.
Implications for Cannabis Businesses and Patients
The new regulations present both opportunities and challenges:
Opportunities: Faster licensing enables businesses to enter the market sooner, meeting the demand for medical cannabis.
Challenges: New restrictions may limit patient access, impacting overall market growth.
