A bill for an act providing for the regulation of hemp products, and making penalties applicable.

This bill regulates hemp products in Iowa by establishing safety standards and definitions. It prohibits packaging or design features appealing to children (e.g., cartoon characters, candy-like appearances) and sets a THC limit of 0.3% on a dry weight basis or 4mg per serving. The bill defines "consumable hemp products" to include food, topicals, and tinctures (but excludes inhalation products) and requires the Department of Health and Human Services to enforce these rules through evidence-based regulations and staff training. These changes aim to protect public health by preventing youth access and ensuring product safety.
