Texas SB3 Vetoed: Regulation of Hemp Products
Summary
The Governor of Texas vetoed Senate Bill 3 (SB3) on June 22, 2025. The bill aimed to regulate products derived from hemp, including licensing, fees, criminal offenses, and administrative penalties. Its veto means the proposed regulations will not be enacted.
What changed
Texas Governor vetoed Senate Bill 3 (SB3) on June 22, 2025, preventing the proposed regulations for hemp-derived products from taking effect. The bill would have established occupational licensing and permit requirements, imposed fees, created criminal offenses, and authorized administrative penalties for products containing hemp-derived cannabinoids. The veto effectively removes these proposed regulatory changes from consideration.
As a result of the veto, entities involved in the production, distribution, or sale of consumable hemp products in Texas will not be subject to the licensing, fee, or criminal/administrative penalty structures outlined in SB3. Compliance officers should note that the existing regulatory landscape for hemp products in Texas remains unchanged by this action. No new actions are required, but the absence of this legislation may lead to continued uncertainty or the pursuit of alternative regulatory approaches in the future.
