HB590

Summary

An Alabama bill would exempt pharmacies selling consumable hemp products from ABC Board licensing and instead place oversight under the Pharmacy Board; it has been referred to the House Committee on Health. Shifting regulatory authority over consumable hemp sales to the Pharmacy Board changes the compliance framework for pharmacies that carry these products.
