Bill > HR368

This joint resolution creates a House Study Committee on Intoxicating Cannabinoids in Consumable Hemp Products to investigate the proliferation of potentially intoxicating hemp-derived substances such as delta-8-THC, HHC, and other cannabinoids that were not regulated under previous federal and state hemp legislation. The committee will consist of five members appointed by the House Speaker, who will also designate a chairperson, and the committee is charged with studying the conditions, needs, and issues surrounding these consumable hemp products, with the goal of potentially recommending new legislation or restrictions. The committee members will receive standard legislative allowances, can conduct meetings as needed, and are required to file a report with findings and potential legislative recommendations by December 31, 2025, when the committee will be abolished. The resolution is motivated by concerns about the availability of intoxicating hemp products in Georgia and a desire to understand their potential risks, with the broader intent of protecting citizens while also gathering input from industry stakeholders, government agencies, and law enforcement before implementing potential restrictions.
