Bill > SB254

This bill amends the Georgia Hemp Farming Act to update regulations around consumable hemp products, focusing on packaging, advertising, and sales restrictions. Specifically, the bill requires that hemp products be packaged in containers that are not attractive to children, do not resemble existing food products, do not infringe on trademarks, and are tamper-evident and child-resistant. The bill also prohibits advertising hemp products in ways that might appeal to children or suggest the product contains medical marijuana. The legislation introduces new definitions for terms like "food product" and "gummy" and restricts the sale of hemp products that are part of food products or alcoholic beverages. A key new provision allows licensed distilled spirits retailers to obtain a retail consumable hemp establishment license, enabling them to sell hemp products to consumers, which expands the potential retail outlets for these products. The bill aims to regulate the sale and marketing of hemp products to ensure consumer safety and prevent marketing that might attract children.
