Bill > HR6645

This bill, the Hemp Advancement Act of 2022, aims to promote the production and regulation of hemp and hemp products. The key provisions include: 1. Modifying the definition of "hemp" to include hemp extract with THC concentrations exceeding 1% on a dry weight basis, as long as it is used for further processing and not intended for consumer sale. The definition of "hemp product" is also updated to have a THC concentration of not more than 0.3% on a dry weight basis. 2. Amending the requirements for state and tribal hemp plans, including allowing for a higher THC concentration threshold of 1% (up from 0.3%) and using post-decarboxylation or other reliable testing methods. 3. Reinstating individuals previously excluded from hemp programs due to past THC violations. 4. Establishing criteria for the accreditation of laboratories to test hemp, without requiring registration with the Drug Enforcement Administration. 5. Regulating the production, storage, transportation, and processing of "in-process hemp extract" to ensure proper handling and disposal. 6. Clarifying that the 2018 Agriculture Improvement Act prohibits interstate commerce of products containing synthetic cannabinoids. 7. Making conforming amendments to the Controlled Substances Act to exclude hemp products from the definition of controlled substances.
