A bill regulating hemp products, licensing and restricting their purchase to customers 21 and older, awaits its fate on Gov. Brian Kemp’s desk after state lawmakers passed it during this year’s legislative session.
The bill, related to “The Georgia Hemp Farming Act” and sponsored by Moultrie Republican Sen. Sam Watson, requires testing for all hemp-derived products, including CBD and Delta-8 edibles and drinks, and prohibit sales to minors. The state Senate sent the bill to the governor on April 4, and Kemp has until May 7 to sign it, veto it or allow it to become law without taking action.
