HB 590 Alabama House · 2026 Regular Session

Consumable hemp products; exempt pharmacies selling consumable hemp products from licensing and oversight by ABC Board; Pharmacy Board required to enforce consumable hemp safety requirements for pharmacies

This bill would allow pharmacies in Alabama to sell consumable hemp products without needing a license from the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board, shifting regulatory oversight to the Alabama Board of Pharmacy. Pharmacies must still follow safety requirements for testing, labeling, and packaging, and sales can only occur under the supervision of a licensed pharmacist to customers aged 21 and older. The law also clarifies that food stores selling hemp beverages must meet specific space and separation requirements, while pharmacies selling topical or sublingual products remain subject to existing ABC Board rules.
