Relating to requiring a warning on the labeling of certain consumable hemp products distributed or sold in this state.
HB 43 requires manufacturers and sellers of consumable hemp products (like edibles or drinks) sold in Texas to include specific labeling. Products containing more than trace cannabinoids must display a batch ID, date, product name, manufacturer details, a certificate of analysis URL, THC concentration certification (max 0.3%), and a randomly selected health warning from a list. The warnings address risks like child poisoning, delayed effects, brain development impacts for those under 25, mental health concerns, addiction, and pregnancy dangers. This directly affects hemp product businesses distributing consumables in Texas, mandating clear consumer information about potential health risks.
