This bill amends section 581.217 of the Florida Statutes to strengthen regulations on the manufacture, sale, and distribution of hemp and hemp extract products. It introduces a definition for "total delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol concentration," which sets specific limits for these products, and prohibits sales that appeal to children. Businesses selling hemp products are required to maintain lab result records, adhere to safety standards, and undergo random inspections by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The bill also bans the sale of hemp products intended for smoking and restricts the locations of businesses selling these products near schools and daycare facilities.

In addition, the bill establishes strict advertising guidelines, requiring preapproval from the department and banning misleading health claims. It outlines penalties for violations, including administrative fines and potential license revocation for repeated offenses, aiming to enhance consumer safety and prevent marketing to children. Furthermore, the bill allocates $2 million in nonrecurring funds from the General Revenue Fund to the Department of Law Enforcement for purchasing testing equipment to support the act's implementation, with an effective date of July 1, 2025.
