Cannabinoid Amendments

HB 469 amends Utah's hemp product regulations to clarify definitions, strengthen safety rules, and update business requirements. It requires hemp retailers to verify purchasers are 21+ via ID checks, updates disposal rules for hemp-related hazardous waste, and repeals mandatory video surveillance for retailers. The bill also explicitly bans specific synthetic cannabinoids (like THCP, HHC, and THC acetates) and sets strict THC limits (under 0.3% dry weight, with additional per-serving limits). These changes directly affect hemp retailers, processors, and consumers purchasing hemp-derived products in Utah.
