Bill > HB265

This bill amends the Georgia Hemp Farming Act to establish more stringent regulations on consumable hemp products, focusing primarily on limiting the concentration of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and other intoxicating cannabinoids. The bill introduces comprehensive definitions for various cannabis-related terms, including an expanded definition of "THC and other intoxicating cannabinoids" that covers multiple chemical variants like delta-8, delta-10, and other derivatives. Key provisions include prohibiting the sale of consumable hemp products with a total THC and intoxicating cannabinoid concentration exceeding 0.3 percent, mandating full panel certificates of analysis for all products, requiring warning labels, and establishing specific restrictions on gummy-form products. For gummies specifically, the bill limits THC and intoxicating cannabinoid content to no more than five milligrams per serving and 150 milligrams per container. The legislation also maintains requirements for product testing, public information transparency through labeling or QR codes, and imposes misdemeanor penalties for non-compliance. The bill aims to provide clearer regulatory guidelines and consumer protections in the hemp product marketplace, addressing potential health and safety concerns related to cannabinoid consumption.
