Bill > S3945

This bill revises restrictions on the sale of hemp products and intoxicating hemp beverages, extending certain allowances until May 31, 2026, and modifying regulations for these products. Specifically, licensed hemp producers can possess or transport intermediate hemp-derived cannabinoid products with a THC concentration exceeding 0.3 percent, provided these materials are still being processed, not intended for direct human or animal consumption, handled according to safety and security regulations, and any final products meet legal THC limits. The bill also adjusts the effective date for restrictions on intoxicating hemp beverages, pushing back the enforcement of certain THC concentration limits and container size regulations to May 31, 2026, and introduces new requirements for resealable packaging for beverages exceeding certain THC levels per container. Intoxicating hemp beverages are defined as those containing cannabinoids that are not naturally produced by a Cannabis sativa L. plant or are synthesized, and the bill clarifies penalties for violations, including civil penalties and criminal charges similar to those for marijuana.
