A Texas House committee just unanimously passed a bill that would prevent a total ban on consumable hemp products.

Mass-text messaging campaigns would have to disclose who paid for them, and direct campaign expenditures would be required to name the candidate or officeholder it spent money to support or oppose, according to the legislation filed by former House Speaker Dade Phelan, R-Beaumont.

The bill faced fierce opposition from hardline conservatives who say it is policing speech and could allow the state to jail people over silly political memes.
