Section 425(b) would require the Secretary within 12 months after enactment to establish maximum cannabinoid-content amounts for hemp-derived cannabinoid products, and provides fallback total-THC limits if those amounts are not established in time.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The introduced bill text matches the commitment's substance, including federal cannabinoid limits and 12-month fallback limits, but the language is still only proposed legislation.

Barr introduced H.R. 9830 on July 22, 2026, and the bill text appears to match the promise by directing federal cannabinoid-content limits for hemp-derived consumable products with fallback limits if the agency does not act within 12 months. However, as of September 1, 2026, the measure remains introduced/referred in House committees and has not been enacted, so the promised federal requirement is not yet in force. This is a material same-term legislative effort, but delivery remains pending.
