SB 1866 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the Texas Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

SB 1866 clarifies that consumable hemp products regulated under Texas Chapter 443 cannot be considered "adulterated" solely because they are hemp products. This bill directly affects hemp product businesses and Texas health regulators by removing a potential barrier to their sale under the Texas Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The key provision amends the Health and Safety Code to explicitly state that hemp products are not automatically deemed adulterated if they comply with Chapter 443 regulations. The bill also updates the definition of "Commerce" to include both intrastate and interstate trade. This is a technical clarification bill with no new regulatory requirements, focusing on preventing regulatory confusion for hemp businesses.
