HB 195 would establish a comprehensive regulatory framework for cannabis in Texas, requiring licenses for businesses involved in cultivation, processing, distribution, and sale. The bill mandates occupational licenses for cannabis establishments, growers, and transporters, while imposing a tax on cannabis products. It creates criminal penalties for violations of these regulations and defines key terms like "cannabis," "cannabis establishment," and "cannabis concentrate." This legislation would directly affect cannabis businesses by setting statewide rules for all aspects of the industry, replacing current local regulations.
