This bill modifies existing provisions regarding the sale of hemp-derived cannabinoids in Minnesota. It allows individuals selling edible cannabinoids to convert their registration to a comparable hemp license and updates regulations for hemp-derived topical products. Key amendments include the stipulation that products containing nonintoxicating cannabinoids must not exceed 0.3 percent tetrahydrocannabinol and cannot be sold to individuals under 21 years of age. Additionally, it specifies that products intended for external use must not be consumed through combustion, vaporization, or injection, with exceptions for sublingual applications.

The bill also introduces new requirements for lower-potency hemp edible manufacturers, mandating compliance with state and local building, fire, and zoning codes, as well as maintaining sanitary conditions in licensed premises. Furthermore, it amends labeling requirements for hemp-derived topical products, removing the option to provide certain information via a scannable barcode. The prohibitions section has been updated to clarify that products cannot be marketed for medical purposes or contain unsafe additives, and it reiterates the age restriction for cannabinoid products.
