Committee clarifies "total THC" language in SB 461; amendment adopted and bill passes
Summary
The committee adopted an amendment replacing 'delta‑9' with 'total' THC concentration language in SB 461 and then voted 13–0 to report the bill as ought to pass with the amendment.
The Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee on Thursday adopted an amendment to SB 461 that clarifies the statutory definition of hemp by replacing a reference to "delta‑9" THC with the term "total" THC concentration.
Representative Murray, who moved the amendment (1344‑h), described the change as a technical clarification requested by bill stakeholders to make clear that the statute refers to total THC concentration rather than a single cannabinoid. A member asked about the significance of the 0.3% threshold on a dry‑weight basis; sponsors said that figure was already in the bill and left the underlying policy unchanged.
The amendment was adopted by roll call and the committee voted 13–0 to report SB 461 as 'ought to pass' with the amendment.
