Bill > HB36

This bill modifies Louisiana law regarding consumable hemp products by expanding the definition of an "illegal controlled substance" to include certain consumable hemp products that violate specific state regulations. The bill allows individuals to seek damages from persons who sold consumable hemp products to someone under 21 years old, but also establishes specific conditions where damage claims related to consumable hemp products would be limited. These limitations include scenarios where the business had a pending permit renewal, the product was approved by the Louisiana Department of Health, or the product had been previously approved and not revoked for more than 60 days. Importantly, these exemptions do not apply if the injured party is a minor. The changes aim to provide clarity around legal responsibilities and potential liability for hemp product sellers and distributors, while still maintaining protections for consumers, especially minors, who might be harmed by improperly sold or regulated hemp products.
