Transferring all regulatory and enforcement responsibilities for CBD and Kratom from the Department of Agriculture to the Alcohol Beverage Control Administration.

HB 5100 transfers regulatory and enforcement authority for CBD (cannabidiol) and Kratom products from the West Virginia Department of Agriculture to the Alcohol Beverage Control Administration (ABCA). This change affects businesses selling CBD or Kratom products in West Virginia, including both in-state retailers and out-of-state sellers shipping products into the state. The bill updates existing laws to make the ABCA Commissioner responsible for issuing permits, enforcing labeling rules, and handling product safety checks for these products. The key mechanism shifts oversight from agricultural regulators to a beverage control agency, aligning CBD/Kratom regulation with similar product frameworks.
