HB 642 Ohio House · 135th Legislature (2023-2024)

Require recommendations regarding adult-use hemp products

This bill directs the Director of Agriculture to study the sale and use of hemp products that could be used for intoxication and submit a report to the General Assembly. The report must include recommendations on defining these products, setting age limits, establishing testing standards, and outlining penalties for selling to minors. Additionally, the bill requires the report to address where these products can be sold, how they should be labeled, and what enforcement powers the state needs. If the Director chooses to adopt rules based on these recommendations, they would only remain in effect for one year. The legislation aims to help the state create a safe regulatory framework for adult-use hemp products while preventing access by children.
