AB 2250 passed the Senate Appropriations Committee 7-0 on August 3 but was set aside for further budget review rather than advanced to the floor, while a companion labeling bill's fate from the same hearing day remains unconfirmed.
WEST, August 10, 2026: California's AB 2250, which would exclude CBN from the "concentrated cannabis" definition set by AB 8, passed the state Senate Appropriations Committee on a 7-0 vote August 3, according to the committee's published hearing results. The bill was placed on the suspense file, the committee's holding mechanism for legislation with a significant fiscal impact, rather than advanced directly to the floor. No date has been set for it to be taken back up.
A companion measure, AB 2532, which would set new cannabis labeling and packaging requirements, had also been expected to reach the same committee on the same hearing day. It does not appear in the committee's own August 3 results document, and its status could not be confirmed as of this report.
In Alaska, Gov. Mike Dunleavy has five days left to act on SB 208, an overhaul of the state's industrial hemp program covering grower licensing tiers and testing requirements, before an August 15 deadline to sign, veto, or let it take effect without his signature.
