Relating to a defense to prosecution for the possession of certain consumable hemp products containing a controlled substance or marihuana.

HB 3122 creates a legal defense for individuals accused of possessing certain consumable hemp products containing controlled substances or marijuana. It applies to people who reasonably believe they purchased these products from an authorized retailer, and the products must: (1) be labeled as legally authorized hemp products, (2) contain hemp-derived substances within concentrations permitted under Texas law (Chapter 443), and (3) come from a retailer they believed was licensed to sell such products. The bill does not change existing hemp laws but prevents prosecution for possession meeting these specific conditions. It takes effect September 1, 2025, and only applies to offenses occurring on or after that date.
