Van Duyne, Beth [R-TX-24] (R-TX) - Cosponsors: 4 - Policy area: Health - Touches household money: yes - Last recorded action: 2026-09-23 ## Summary **The Beverage Regulatory Parity Act would create a coordinated federal regulatory framework for hemp-derived beverages.** It would set serving and container limits, add FDA food rules and adulteration standards, and establish a TTB permit-based three-tier distribution system. - Consumers and families: Would cap intoxicating delta-9 THC at 5 mg per serving and cap other naturally-occurring cannabinoids at 5 mg per serving. Products must be sold only to people 21 and older and carry clear labels on contents, serving size and onset time, risk notices, and a warning that the product may cause a positive marijuana drug test. - Manufacturers and the supply chain: Would create Tier 1 Manufacturers, Tier 2 Wholesalers, and Tier 3 Retailers under TTB permits and bar firms from holding permits in more than one tier. It requires uniform manufacturing and testing standards, domestic production and packaging, and a manufacturing-stage exception that allows intermediate products up to 20% total THC by weight when tightly controlled and used only by permitted entities. - States, Tribes, and regulators: Would preserve State, local, and Tribal authority to set stricter or equivalent rules and to block shipments that violate local law. It directs the Department of Health and Human Services and FDA to treat hemp-derived beverages as food, creates new adulteration and misbranding triggers, requires a FDA recall process, and mandates an interagency review within one year on testing and impairment measures. ## Cosponsors (4) - Rep.
