New regulations for the consumable hemp industry were approved by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission on Tuesday, concluding the agency’s involvement in a yearlong effort to more tightly regulate the products in the state.
The rules change little for the $5 billion industry, replacing the temporary emergency rules in place since September. The rules prohibit the sale of consumable hemp products by TABC license holders to people under 21 and require ID checks on all sales.
