HB 539 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

HEALTH: Provides relative to consumable hemp products

HB 539 repeals a Louisiana law (R.S. 3:1484(B)(5)) that previously prohibited the sale of consumable hemp products at certain locations. This change removes specific sales restrictions, allowing businesses to sell consumable hemp products (like edibles or beverages) in locations previously banned under that provision. The bill directly affects hemp product sellers and consumers by expanding where such products can legally be sold within Louisiana. It does not create new regulations or tax provisions, only eliminating an existing prohibition. The repeal takes effect upon the governor's signature or after the legislative session ends, as specified in the bill text.
