It establishes taxes on HDCPs, mandates age verification (proof of age 21+), and defines specific products like Delta-8 THC (limited to 0.3% THC) while excluding most CBD products. The law directly affects suppliers, wholesalers, retailers, and consumers, with enforcement handled by the Alcoholic Beverage Commission and Department of Revenue. Signed into law on May 21, 2025, it takes effect on May 21, 2025, with some provisions effective January 1, 2026.
