SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Industrial hemp; maximum THC concentration. Increases from 0.3 percent to one percent, in the definition of industrial hemp, the maximum concentration of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in the plant Cannabis sativa and excludes hemp products with a THC concentration of one percent or less from (i) the definition of marijuana and (ii) tetrahydrocannabinols as found on Schedule I of the Drug Control Act. The bill allows the Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services to destroy Cannabis sativa found to have a THC concentration greater than one percent only if such Cannabis sativa is intended for human consumption; reduces the application and registration requirements for any person seeking to grow, deal in, or process industrial hemp; and prohibits the Board of Agriculture and Consumer Services and the Commissioner from adopting any regulation that prohibits the use of industrial hemp or hemp products in the production of any commercial feed product regulated by the Board.
