This bill amends Chapter 17, Title 22 of the Idaho Code by adding a new section, 22-1708, which establishes regulations for the retail sale of industrial hemp products in Idaho. Under this new provision, the sale of cannabinoids, except for naturally derived cannabidiol, is prohibited in consumable or personal use products. Retailers selling hemp products must obtain a license from the Idaho Department of Agriculture, with an annual fee of $600, and an additional fee of $25 for each extra store covered under a single license. The Department is also authorized to conduct inspections to ensure compliance with state and federal laws, and retailers may request retesting of samples within five days of receiving test results.

The bill outlines penalties for non-compliance, allowing the Department to assess civil penalties of up to $10,000 for each violation, along with the possibility of recovering attorney's fees. It also emphasizes that the authority of state or local law enforcement to investigate or enforce Idaho law remains unaffected. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, due to an emergency declaration.
