MODERATE

The bill was converted from an 'Engrossed' version to an 'Enrolled' version, which is the final legislative text signed into law. The substantive content was completely replaced; the original text regarding cable and video provider regulations was removed and replaced entirely with new definitions for a hemp regulatory framework.

Scope change

The bill's scope shifted entirely from regulating cable and video service providers to regulating the cultivation, manufacturing, and sale of hemp and hemp-derived products.

SCOPE

All provisions related to customer service, privacy, and technical standards for cable and video providers were removed.

DEFINITION

New definitions were added for key terms including 'Cannabis', 'Hemp', 'Container', 'Hemp-derived cannabinoid product', and various licensees and manufacturers.

ELIGIBILITY

New criteria were established for what constitutes 'Final consumer hemp cannabinoid product' and 'Hemp', including specific limits on tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentrations and prohibitions on synthetic cannabinoids.

TECHNICAL

The bill title was updated from 'Engrossed' to 'Enrolled', and the section numbering was reorganized to reflect the new hemp-focused content.
