Senate Bill 341 amends the Alcoholic Beverage Code to provide for the denial of an original application for a retail dealer's on-premise license on a finding by the applicable county judge that the license applicant or the applicant's spouse, during the five years immediately preceding the application, was finally convicted of an offense involving a synthetic cannabinoid. The bill also prohibits a person authorized to sell beer at retail and the person's agent, servant, or employee from engaging in or permitting on the retailer's premises the possession of a synthetic cannabinoid or any equipment used or designed for the administering of a synthetic cannabinoid.
Senate Bill 341 amends the Texas Controlled Substances Act, Health and Safety Code, to provide for a statutory cause of action for the provision, selling, or serving of a synthetic cannabinoid on proof that the intoxication of the recipient of the synthetic cannabinoid was a proximate cause of the damages suffered.
