Bill > HB06054

This bill proposes to establish stricter criminal penalties for licensed businesses, their agents, or employees who sell or deliver THC-containing products to individuals under 21 years old. Specifically, the bill would make such sales a felony offense, with penalties equivalent to those currently imposed for unlawfully selling alcohol to minors. The legislation covers a wide range of THC products, including vaporizers and products containing delta-8-THC, a synthetic form of tetrahydrocannabinol. By classifying these sales as a felony, the bill aims to create a significant legal deterrent to protect minors from accessing THC products, which can have harmful effects on developing brains. The proposed law would apply to licensed sellers and their representatives, holding them criminally responsible for selling these products to anyone under the legal age of 21.
