SB 39 creates two new criminal offenses for businesses selling consumable hemp products (products containing hemp-derived cannabinoids). It prohibits marketing or packaging these products in ways that appeal to minors, such as using cartoon shapes, animal designs, candy-like imagery, or misleading medical claims (e.g., green crosses). Violations are classified as Class A misdemeanors, punishable by fines or jail time. The law will take effect on December 1, 2025.
