Relating to the regulation of consumable hemp products and providing for the transfer of regulatory functions; requiring a registration; imposing fees; creating criminal offenses; providing an administrative penalty.

HB 28 regulates consumable hemp products in Texas by requiring businesses to obtain licenses for manufacturing or processing. It mandates $5,000 initial and $2,500 annual renewal fees per location, prohibits synthetic cannabinoids in products, and requires testing before sale. The bill defines "consumable hemp products" as items containing CBD, CBG, or delta-9 THC (but no other cannabinoids), excluding low-THC cannabis regulated under Chapter 487. Violations could trigger criminal charges or administrative penalties, and products must comply with current good manufacturing practices. This directly affects hemp product manufacturers, distributors, and retailers operating in Texas.
