Bill > S5017

This bill, the HEMP Act of 2020 or the Hemp Economic Mobilization Plan Act of 2020, amends the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 to modify the definition of hemp. Specifically, it increases the allowable delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration in hemp from 0.3% to 1% on a dry weight basis. It also requires that any person transporting hemp from a producer to a processor must keep a seed certificate demonstrating the hemp was grown from genetics containing no more than 1% delta-9 THC. The bill directs the Secretary of Agriculture to revise related regulations within 90 days without going through the usual notice and comment process.
