Bill > SB292

This bill establishes comprehensive regulations for hemp-derived cannabinoid products in Kansas, focusing primarily on protecting minors and ensuring product safety. The legislation prohibits the sale, gift, or transfer of hemp-derived cannabinoid products to anyone under 21 years old and mandates specific packaging and labeling requirements. These requirements include using child-resistant packaging, implementing tamper-evident seals, and avoiding packaging that might appeal to children, such as cartoon images or designs resembling candy packaging. The bill also requires products to be sourced from approved producers and have a valid certificate of analysis available, which must include information about the product's origin, manufacturer, and batch details. Additionally, the bill updates definitions related to industrial hemp and hemp products, expanding the understanding of what constitutes hemp and hemp-derived products. Manufacturers are prohibited from making health claims about these products and must ensure their labeling and advertising meet strict guidelines. The legislation amends several existing Kansas statutes to integrate these new regulations, ultimately aiming to create a more controlled and responsible market for hemp-derived cannabinoid products while protecting public health, particularly that of younger consumers.
