Hemp Access and Consumer Safety Act
This bill amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to clarify the regulation of hemp-derived products. It removes hemp, hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD), and related substances from the definition of "dietary supplements," excluding them from current supplement regulations. The bill also defines "hemp" per the Agricultural Marketing Act and grants the Secretary of Health and Human Services authority to establish labeling requirements and enforce rules for products containing these substances. This directly affects businesses selling hemp-based supplements and food products, as well as consumers purchasing them, by changing how these items are regulated under federal food safety laws.
