The decision could be important for a legal battle over a Florida law that prevents minors from receiving hormone therapy and puberty blockers to treat gender dysphoria.

The 6-1 ruling rejects arguments from the committee promoting the measure after months of legal wrangling. The revised financial statement will appear on the ballot with Amendment 4.

The court agreed to decide whether a Tennessee law restricting puberty blockers and hormone therapy for children is unconstitutional, in a closely watched case that is almost certain to affect similar laws in Florida.

Gov. Ron DeSantis said the measure, proposed to limit the production and sale of euphoria-producing hemp, would impose debilitating regulatory burdens on small businesses and "fail to achieve its purposes."

The statement provides estimated effects of ballot measures on government revenues and the budget. A Leon County judge rules the statement is “inaccurate, ambiguous, misleading, unclear and confusing.”

The bill would ban the sale of products containing what is known as delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol and limit the amount of delta-9 THC. Delta-8 and delta-9 are cannabinoids in hemp that can get people high.

The bill would bring to six the number of potentially lucrative licenses earmarked for Black farmers with ties to decades-old litigation about discriminatory lending practices by federal officials.

Executive director Shamarial Roberson, an epidemiologist, says the association will advocate for “research and advancement” for medical marijuana.

The bill would prohibit businesses from manufacturing or selling products that contain more than 0.3 percent delta-9 and place limits on other cannabinoids. A House version is also ready for the full chamber.

The legislation would be contingent on the success of a proposed constitutional amendment seeking to authorize recreational marijuana.
