Bill Summary
For legislation relative to the growth of hemp. Cannabis Policy.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend the existing Massachusetts law by adding "hemp as defined in section 116 of chapter 128" to the list of agricultural products that are exempt from property taxes under Chapter 61A. This change would provide tax relief to farmers growing hemp, which is a variety of the cannabis plant with low levels of THC (the psychoactive compound in marijuana). The bill aims to support the growth and cultivation of hemp, which has various industrial and commercial applications, as part of the state's cannabis policy.
