This bill amends section 561.20 of the Florida Statutes to define and regulate THC-infused beverages. It introduces a new definition for THC-infused beverages, which includes any drink intended for human consumption that contains intoxicating hemp-derived cannabinoids, such as Delta-8 and Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol, regardless of whether the beverage also contains alcohol. The bill authorizes only holders of an active qualifying alcoholic beverage license to sell, offer for sale, or distribute these THC-infused beverages at retail in Florida.

Additionally, the bill prohibits any individual or entity without an active alcoholic beverage license from engaging in the sale or distribution of THC-infused beverages. Violations of this regulation will be treated as unlicensed activities under the Beverage Law, subject to penalties similar to those for the unlicensed sale of alcoholic beverages. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
