PAST BILL
Urge Regulators to Rescind Current Proposed Regulations for Hemp and CBD Products
PASSED January 01, 2025
The Tennessee Department of Agriculture issued permanent rules for hemp producers and retailers and suppliers of hemp-derived cannabinoid products. The permanent rules will replace emergency rules that were issued in June and that were challenged in court earlier this year.
Many public comments opposed the permanent rules’ requirement for testing hemp for THC and THCA. The permanent rules also require all hemp-derived cannabinoid products to be stored behind the counter, except topicals and products sold in stores that are limited to persons who are 21 or older (i.e., liquor stores).
The permanent rules become effective December 26, 2024.
