Occurrences

Instructs the Secretary of the Treasury to establish a three-tiered system for hemp-derived beverages – manufacturers, distributors, and retailers – with strict tied-house restrictions to maintain separation among tiers; and. Instructs the Treasury Department to collect a tax of 5 cents per milligram of THC in hemp-derived consumable beverages and 5% of the retail price on all other consumables that contain THC.

The bill would regulate hemp beverages through a three-tier system and impose THC-related taxes on consumable hemp products.

Evidence

legacy_unverified · Source version not recorded · locator unknown

GovInfo lists H.R. 9830 as introduced by Andy Barr on July 22, 2026 and referred to four House committees, with the last action date still July 22, 2026.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Barr has taken concrete legislative action, but the official record shows the bill remains at introduction/referral rather than enacted law; the promised federal system and taxes are therefore unresolved as of September 1, 2026.

The introduced text would require Treasury regulations for a three-tier hemp-derived beverage distribution system and impose THC-related taxes on beverages and other hemp-derived cannabinoid products.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The bill text matches the commitment’s substance: manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers for hemp beverages, a 5-cent-per-milligram THC beverage tax, and a 5% price tax on other hemp-derived cannabinoid products. Because this is only introduced bill text, it supports serious effort but not delivery.

Barr introduced H.R. 9830, the Lawful Hemp Protection Act, on July 22, 2026, and the bill text substantively matches the promise by directing a three-tier federal system for hemp-derived beverages and THC-related taxes on hemp-derived consumables. However, as of September 1, 2026, the bill remains introduced and referred to House committees, with no enactment or implemented federal system/tax. This is a concrete same-term legislative effort, but the promised outcome has not yet been delivered.
