Hemp Enforcement, Modernization, and Protection Act

This bill would add a new chapter to federal food and drug law to regulate hemp-derived cannabinoid products, such as edibles, drinks, vapes, and lotions. It would bar sales of these products to anyone under 21, ban synthetic cannabinoids, and set limits on how much intoxicating cannabinoid content a product may contain. Makers and importers would have to register their facilities and list their products with the Department of Health and Human Services, follow manufacturing and testing rules, and meet labeling and packaging requirements, including limits on packaging that appeals to children. The Food and Drug Administration could order products recalled. Knowingly selling or distributing a prohibited product could bring up to 10 years in prison.
