Bill Summary
An act relating to THC-infused beverages; amending s. 561.20, F.S.; defining the term “THC-infused beverage”; authorizing a holder of an active qualifying alcoholic beverage license to sell, offer to sell, or distribute THC-infused beverages at retail in this state; prohibiting any person or entity that does not hold an active, qualifying alcoholic beverage license from selling, offering for sale, possessing for sale, or distributing THC-infused beverages in this state; providing that a violation of the act constitutes an unlicensed activity under the Beverage Law and is punishable in the same manner as the unlicensed sale of alcoholic beverages; providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill defines "THC-infused beverage" as any drink intended for consumption that contains any intoxicating hemp-derived cannabinoid, such as Delta-8, Delta-9, Delta-10, hexahydrocannabinol, tetrahydrocannabinol-O, or tetrahydrocannabinol-P, regardless of whether it also contains alcohol. It then authorizes individuals or entities holding an active alcoholic beverage license to sell, offer for sale, or distribute these THC-infused beverages at retail in Florida. Crucially, any person or entity without such a license is prohibited from selling, possessing for sale, or distributing these beverages. Violating these provisions will be treated as engaging in unlicensed activity under the Beverage Law, carrying the same penalties as the unlicensed sale of alcoholic beverages, and the act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
