HB 952 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

HEALTH: Provides relative to consumable hemp products

This bill prohibits the sale of consumable hemp products at retail locations that also hold a permit to sell alcohol. It directly affects businesses that operate as both alcohol retailers and hemp product sellers by banning the co-location of these two types of goods. The key provision states that no person can sell or offer for sale hemp products on the premises of an entity with a Class A alcohol beverage permit. This rule aims to separate the retail environments for hemp and alcohol rather than allowing them to be sold together in the same physical space.
