Bill > H0601

This bill revises Florida's regulations on hemp extract products by establishing comprehensive guidelines for their manufacture, sale, and distribution. The bill defines key terms like "hemp extract" and "independent testing laboratory" and sets strict requirements for product packaging, labeling, and safety. Specifically, hemp extract products can only be sold to individuals 21 years or older and must be packaged in child-resistant containers with detailed labeling that includes a certificate of analysis from an independent testing laboratory, batch number, expiration date, and cannabinoid concentration. The bill prohibits packaging or marketing that could be attractive to children, mandates that most hemp extract products be kept behind the counter in retail establishments, and limits convenience stores to selling only hemp extract beverages. Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers must maintain detailed records of their products for three years and are subject to penalties for non-compliance. The bill also appropriates $2 million for testing equipment and $25 million for investigating hemp products imported from foreign countries of concern, with the regulations set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
