Bill > SB33

This bill amends the Georgia Hemp Farming Act to establish more stringent regulations for consumable hemp products, primarily focusing on limiting the concentration of intoxicating cannabinoids. The bill introduces new definitions for "intoxicating cannabinoids," which include various forms of THC (such as delta-8, delta-9, and delta-10) and hexahydrocannabinol (HHC), and creates a new standard that prohibits the sale of consumable hemp products with a total concentration of intoxicating cannabinoids exceeding 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis. The legislation requires manufacturers to obtain a full panel certificate of analysis within the last 12 months, which must comprehensively test for various cannabinoids and potential contaminants. Additionally, the bill mandates that all consumable hemp products bear a department-approved warning sticker about THC content and include a label or QR code providing detailed analysis information. The department is empowered to conduct random inspections of retail hemp products, and products that fail to meet these new standards can be disposed of. Violations of these new provisions could result in misdemeanor charges, signaling the state's intent to more strictly regulate the hemp product market and protect consumer safety.
