Hemp farmers would get more time to prepare for new growing rules.
Hemp farmers would get more time to prepare for new growing rules. This bill would push back the start date for changes to hemp production rules from one year to three years after they were first passed. This gives hemp producers and the wider agricultural industry more time to adapt.
Currently, new hemp production rules are set to begin 365 days after the 2026 Appropriations Act was signed. (The 2026 Appropriations Act is a law that sets aside money for government agencies and programs). If this bill passes, those new rules would instead begin 3 years after the original law was signed. This would provide an extra 2 years for preparation.
