The House Housing, Agriculture and Tourism Subcommittee has cleared a measure aimed at regulating and taxing consumable hemp and THC products while offering a legal framework under which the industry may operate.
The proposed committed bill (PCB-HAT 25-01) would mandate laboratory testing of consumable hemp or THC products, ensuring they meet regulatory standards for safe consumption; block sales of the products at convenience stores or gas stations and in any way that is attractive to children, including through colorful packaging or cartoon-like mascots; and establish fines for violations.
The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services would be responsible for enforcement of production, manufacture, transportation and sale of consumable hemp products.
