Bill > SB641

This bill creates a new section of Missouri law to regulate the sale of intoxicating cannabinoids, which are defined as any cannabinoid compounds that have an intoxicating effect when consumed, including those created through natural or synthetic processes. The bill requires that any person or entity selling intoxicating cannabinoids must: (1) sell only to adults 21 and older after verifying age, (2) comply with testing and safety regulations established by the Department of Health and Senior Services, (3) follow packaging and labeling rules designed to protect minors, and (4) meet other departmental regulations. Sellers must annually register with the department and pay a $1,000 registration fee, with a 45-day grace period for existing sellers to register before August 28, 2025. The department is mandated to develop comprehensive rules covering public health and safety, product potency limits, recall procedures, advertising standards, and enforcement mechanisms. The bill explicitly excludes cannabidiol (CBD) from the definition of intoxicating cannabinoids and aims to provide a regulatory framework for the sale of these products while ensuring consumer protection and preventing sales to minors.
