Clarifies the definition of "manufactured hemp product" in Hawaii law to ensure regulatory authority.

The bill amends the definition of "manufactured hemp product" in Hawaii law to ensure clarity and regulatory authority. It specifies that such products include those intended for oral consumption or topical application, excluding living hemp plants, viable seeds, leaf materials, or floral materials. The bill aims to correct an ambiguity in the previous definition that may have limited the Department of Health's ability to regulate new types of hemp products. The changes will take effect upon approval.
