The bill amends section 581.217 of the Florida Statutes to enhance regulations surrounding hemp extract products. Key changes include the revision of legislative findings and definitions, as well as the establishment of stricter conditions for the manufacture, delivery, distribution, and retail sale of these products. Notably, the bill specifies that hemp extract products can only be sold to individuals aged 21 and older, and it introduces penalties for violations. Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers are required to maintain detailed records of their hemp extract products for three years, and the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is prohibited from allowing the removal or use of products that do not comply with state law.

Additionally, the bill includes appropriations of $2 million for the Department of Law Enforcement to acquire testing equipment and $25 million for the Department of Legal Affairs to investigate foreign-manufactured hemp products. The bill also emphasizes the importance of labeling and packaging, ensuring that products are not attractive to children and meet specific safety standards. The effective date for these changes is set for October 1, 2025.
