What the record says

New Jersey's enacted law names November 13, 2026 as the cutoff for intoxicating hemp beverage sales by the specified licensees. From May 31, cans are limited to 10 milligrams total THC, while qualifying resealable 750-milliliter bottles may contain 40 servings of five milligrams each, up to 200 milligrams. S4635 passed both houses October 29 and would align the cutoff with the federal compliance date. No approval was shown in the official bill history checked November 3, so the proposed extension remains pending.
