Bill > SB1652

This bill updates Tennessee's definition of hemp to align with the federal definition established by the Continuing Appropriations, Agriculture, Legislative Branch, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Extensions Act of 2026, which sets a limit of 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinols (THC) concentration on a dry weight basis for hemp. The bill also introduces new definitions for "container," "hemp-derived cannabinoid product," "industrial hemp," and "intermediate hemp-derived cannabinoid product," clarifying what constitutes these items and their limitations, particularly concerning synthesized cannabinoids and final product THC content. These changes are intended to harmonize state law with federal regulations concerning hemp and its derivatives, impacting various sections of Tennessee Code Annotated related to agriculture, criminal law, and alcoholic beverages.
