Bill > SB1761

This bill makes several changes to the regulations surrounding hemp-derived cannabinoid products (HDCPs) in Tennessee, aiming to clarify definitions and update labeling and packaging requirements. Key provisions include redefining "supplier" to encompass entities that sell, manufacture, or contract for the manufacture of these products, and removing the term "or entity" in various sections to streamline language. The bill also mandates a conspicuous warning statement on products regarding impairment, child safety, and other risks, and requires a batch number and QR code on packaging that links to detailed testing information for each product batch, with specific guidelines for website accessibility and data retention. Furthermore, it updates the acceptable container closure types for HDCP beverage products to align with those used for soft drinks, malt beverages, wine, and other alcoholic beverages. Notably, the bill states that the Department of Agriculture will no longer issue or renew HDCP supplier and retail licenses after its effective date.
