Bill overview
This bill, the Hemp Access and Consumer Safety Act, aims to allow hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) and other hemp-derived ingredients to be used in food and dietary supplements. Currently, federal law restricts the sale of these products if they contain substances similar to approved medications. The bill modifies existing regulations to specifically exempt hemp and its derivatives, while giving the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) the authority to establish labeling requirements for these products to ensure consumer safety.
