德克萨斯州颁布了一项紧急规则,要求酒类执照持有者在出售THC产品前核实年龄,从2025年10月1日起禁止向21岁以下的任何人销售。 Texas has enacted an emergency rule requiring liquor license holders to verify age before selling THC products, banning sales to anyone under 21, effective October 1, 2025. 这项规则由得克萨斯州酒精饮料委员会根据州长格雷格·阿博特的行政命令批准,适用于大约60,000个有酒精许可证的零售商,如酒类商店和餐馆,但不适用于烟雾店、加油站或网上销售商。 The rule, approved by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission under Governor Greg Abbott’s executive order, applies to about 60,000 alcohol-licensed retailers like liquor stores and restaurants, but not smoke shops, gas stations, or online sellers. 其目的是保护未成年人的健康,这是在立法试图管制市场失败之后进行的。 It aims to protect minors’ health, following failed legislative attempts to regulate the market. 违章行为可能导致吊销许可证。 Violations may lead to license revocation. 该规则的有效期最长为180天,可能延长,而正式规则的制定则在11月开始。 The rule is valid for up to 180 days, with possible extension, while formal rulemaking begins in November. 得克萨斯州国家卫生服务部将为其他零售商制定单独的条例,其中包括8 000多个大麻销售商。 The Texas Department of State Health Services will create separate regulations for other retailers, including over 8,000 hemp sellers. 行业领导人普遍支持这一举动,指出大多数已经强制实行21岁的购买年龄。 Industry leaders generally support the move, noting most already enforce a 21-year-old purchase age.
