Bill > HB1275

This bill, effective July 1, 2026, amends Indiana law regarding the sale of certain low THC hemp extract products, specifically those containing compounds like delta-8 THC, delta-10 THC, HHC, THCo, THCA, THCp, and THCv. It mandates that any person selling these products must prohibit individuals under 21 years of age from entering their retail establishment and requires a conspicuous sign stating this prohibition to be displayed at all entrances. Violating these provisions constitutes a Class C infraction, with escalating civil penalties based on the number of previous violations at the specific business location within the past year, ranging from up to $400 for a first offense to up to $2,000 for three or more offenses, with a limit of one citation per 24 hours per location. The bill also outlines defenses for sellers accused of allowing underage individuals entry, including the individual presenting valid identification proving they are 21 or older, appearing to be 30 or older, or delivering goods as part of their employment. However, these restrictions do not apply to the sale or dispensing of these products at pharmacies or healthcare facilities to individuals who are 21 or older.
