BACKGROUND.3).2).204).7).2). 32).7(8)).2(5)). BILL’S PROVISIONS. The bill expressly authorizes DIA to obtain information by registrants regarding their established place of business, including the name and address of a registrant engaged in the retail sale of CHP. In order to enhance the readability of the Code, the bill moves a provision that requires a registrant engaged in the retail sale of CHP to keep certain records regarding THC levels of hemp used to manufacture the CHP. The bill requires that when a registrant makes an in-person, face-to-face retail sale of CHP, the sale must be made at the registrant’s established place of business as described on the registration form. However, the bill provides for an exception subject to two conditions: (1) the registrant’s established place of business must have been included on a registration form for at least the prior two complete years, and (2) the temporary location must not be prohibited by DIA rules. APPLICABLE PENALTIES.7(8)(c)).12). ADMINISTRATIVE RULES AND EFFECTIVE DATE. The bill requires DIA to begin the process of adopting rules required to implement the bill’s provisions by September 1, 2023, and that part of the bill takes effect upon enactment.
