Hemp farmers would get more time to prepare for new growing rules.
This bill would give hemp farmers an additional two years to get ready for new growing rules. Currently, these new rules are set to take effect in about a year. This delay would give farmers more time to understand and adapt to the upcoming changes.
Today, new hemp production rules from a 2026 law are set to begin 365 days after that law was signed. If this bill passes, those new rules would be delayed, taking effect 3 years after the 2026 law was signed instead, giving farmers an additional two years to prepare.
