This bill modifies existing provisions regarding the sale of cannabinoids derived from hemp 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 must not be intended for consumption through combustion, vaporization, or injection, with specific exceptions for sublingual applications. Additionally, it establishes that no cannabinoid products may be sold to individuals under the age of 21.

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. It amends labeling requirements for hemp-derived topical products, removing the option to provide certain information via a scannable barcode and ensuring that all products meet safety and health standards. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance consumer safety and regulatory oversight in the sale of hemp-derived products.
