Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend Chapter 4 of Title 3 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to distilled spirits, so as to authorize the sale of consumable hemp products by retail dealers in distilled spirits; to provide for a definition; to provide for related matters; to repeal conflicting laws; and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends Georgia's laws regarding distilled spirits to authorize licensed alcohol retailers to also sell consumable hemp products, provided they obtain a separate retail consumable hemp establishment license. The bill defines "consumable hemp product" and "retail consumable hemp establishment license" by referencing existing definitions in the Georgia Hemp Farming Act. Under this legislation, the sale of hemp products by distilled spirits retailers will be exclusively governed by the rules and regulations established by the Georgia Department of Agriculture, ensuring that these products are sold in compliance with the state's hemp farming regulations. This change allows liquor stores to expand their product offerings to include consumable hemp items, subject to specific licensing and regulatory requirements set forth in the Georgia Hemp Farming Act.
