Subcommittee approves bill requiring safety checkpoints and age verification for psychoactive hemp deliveries
Summary
HB2241, amended and advanced 9–0, sets consumer-safety and age-verification requirements for delivery of psychoactive hemp products; sponsor and committee said the bill aims to protect young people and small businesses while allowing lawful commerce.
The subcommittee voted unanimously to advance HB2241 after the sponsor described it as a consumer-safety measure for delivery of psychoactive hemp products.
Representative Hurt, sponsor of the amendment (015408), said the bill ensures "psychoactive hemp products pass through our safety checkpoints before reaching the market," adding that the measure adds age verification and prevents monopolistic control by large out-of-state companies.
The amendment was adopted and the committee recorded nine yes, zero nays. The sponsor said the language adds enforceable accountability while protecting small Tennessee businesses and respecting privacy.
