No material change identified in the official materials reviewed August 12, 2026.

Federal change scheduled for November 12, 2026

State rules are only one layer. Unless Congress changes the enacted provision, Section 781 changes the federal hemp definition to total THC—Delta-9 THC plus 0.877 times THCA—and adds a 0.4 milligram total-THC-per-container cap beginning November 12, 2026. That federal change is separate from the Georgia posture above.
