AB 504 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Establishes certain deceptive trade practices relating to the sale of or an offer to sell certain hemp products. (BDR 56-867)

AB 504 requires businesses selling hemp products intended for human consumption (without a cannabis license) to display a clear sign stating they lack a cannabis license and the location isn’t a cannabis establishment. It also prohibits making false claims about license status or the product’s nature in advertising. The law directly affects unlicensed hemp product sellers, particularly in retail or direct-to-consumer settings. Violations are classified as deceptive trade practices under Nevada law, subjecting offenders to civil and criminal penalties. The bill does not apply to hemp products containing only approved hemp components without other hemp.

What changed between versions

Reprint 2 → As Enrolled · 3 edits · Jun 10, 2025
MINOR
This bill was finalized as 'As Enrolled' to become law, removing internal draft markings and adding a new section granting the Cannabis Compliance Board specific powers to investigate and refer violations of the hemp advertising rules to the Attorney General. The core requirements for unlicensed sellers to display warning signs and avoid deceptive claims remain consistent with the previous version.
Scope change
The bill's scope regarding requirements for unlicensed hemp sellers remains unchanged, but the enforcement mechanism was expanded by explicitly adding the power to refer violations to the Attorney General.
TECHNICAL

Removed internal draft headers, committee dates, and summary notes that were present in the Reprint version but are not part of the final law.

Added standard legislative formatting elements, including the formal 'Enactment' clause and specific session identifiers.

ENFORCEMENT

Added Section 2 to explicitly grant the Cannabis Compliance Board the authority to investigate violations of the new hemp advertising rules and refer them to the Attorney General for prosecution.
