The bill allows a court to impose a sentence that includes commitment beyond 21 years of age for a juvenile 
adjudicated of a Class A crime. This process could increase the adult corrections system population. It is unclear

been. The current average cost of incarcerating one individual for a single year is $55,203. 
Fiscal Detail and Notes 
The bill includes General Fund appropriations of $257,387 in fiscal year 2025-26 and $249,895 in fiscal year 2026-27

CONCEPT DRAFT
SUMMARY
This bill is a concept draft pursuant to Joint Rule 208.
This bill proposes to amend the laws governing hemp to establish a mechanism for the 
State to regulate the sale of intoxicating hemp products. The bill would require that 
intoxicating hemp products sold in the State be produced by a licensed adult use cannabis 
products manufacturing facility and sold within the State at licensed adult use cannabis 
stores. The bill would define intoxicating hemp products as hemp-derived inhalable or 
consumable products containing one or more intoxicating cannabinoids, including, but not 
limited 
to, 
delta-8 
tetrahydrocannabinol, 
delta-9 
tetrahydrocannabinol, 
tetrahydrocannabinol-O-acetate and tetrahydrocannabiphorol in concentrations in the 
aggregate of 2.5 milligrams or greater per package, regardless of the number of servings, 
except for beverages containing one or more intoxicating cannabinoids, including, but not 
limited 
to, 
delta-8 
tetrahydrocannabinol, 
delta-9 
tetrahydrocannabinol, 
tetrahydrocannabinol-O-acetate and tetrahydrocannabiphorol in concentrations of 5 
milligrams or less per 16 ounce or greater bottle or can to be sold only as an individual 
bottle or can. The bill would prohibit the sale of intoxicating hemp products and beverages 
containing one or more intoxicating cannabinoids, including, but not limited to, delta-8 
tetrahydrocannabinol, delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol, tetrahydrocannabinol-O-acetate and 
tetrahydrocannabiphorol in concentrations in the aggregate of 5 milligrams or less per 16 
ounce or greater bottle or can to be sold as an individual bottle or can, to persons under 21 
years of age and require that such products meet certain testing, packaging and labeling 
standards to protect public health and safety.
The bill would remove the restriction on manufacturing hemp products contained in 
the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 28-B, section 502, subsection 1-A and would expressly 
authorize licensed adult use cannabis products manufacturing facilities to ship intoxicating 
hemp products outside of the State for sale in other markets, subject to all other applicable 
laws, including federal law, in the jurisdiction where those products are sold.
