SB 335 establishes a comprehensive regulatory framework for cannabis in Texas, creating new licensing requirements for businesses involved in cultivation, processing, distribution, and sale. It directly affects cannabis businesses (growers, testing facilities, dispensaries, and transporters) by mandating state licenses, imposing fees, and requiring product safety testing. Key provisions include defining "cannabis" and "cannabis products" (excluding hemp), creating specific license categories, and authorizing criminal penalties for violations. The bill aims to regulate all aspects of the cannabis supply chain under a new Health and Safety Code chapter.
