Alcohol, Tobacco, and Cannabis Commission - Unauthorized Consumable Products - Enforcement and Seizure

SB 820 prohibits retailers (including stores, restaurants, hotels, and food companies) from selling, advertising, or displaying "unauthorized consumable products," specifically tianeptine products and certain kratom products under defined restrictions. The bill expands the Alcohol, Tobacco, and Cannabis Commission’s enforcement authority to seize, confiscate, or destroy these products and requires the Maryland Department of Health to report related changes to the Commission. Key provisions clarify that retailers cannot promote or handle these products in prohibited ways, as defined in existing health laws. The bill updates enforcement mechanisms without creating new taxes or fees, focusing on compliance and product safety.
