Relating to prohibiting the sale, delivery, or purchase of a consumable hemp product to or by a person younger than 21 years of age, the entry onto the premises of a retailer of consumable hemp products by a person younger than 21 years of age, and the employment by a retailer of consumable hemp products of a person younger than 21 years of age; creating criminal offenses.

HB 36 would prohibit retailers from selling, delivering, or giving consumable hemp products (like edibles or beverages) to anyone under 21, and also ban minors from entering stores selling these products or working there. Retailers who sell to minors would face a Class A misdemeanor charge, while minors purchasing these products could be charged with a Class C misdemeanor (except when supervised by police). The bill directly affects hemp product retailers, their employees, and individuals under 21 who might attempt to purchase or work with these products. It creates new criminal penalties for violations but includes a defense if a minor presents valid ID proving they're 21 or older.
