Bill > S06332

This bill amends the New York agriculture and markets law to explicitly allow commercial feed for pets, specialty pets, horses, and camelids to include hemp seed or hemp seed products. The bill modifies the existing definition of "commercial feed" by adding language that permits the inclusion of hemp seed and hemp seed-derived substances specifically for these animal types. The term "hemp" is referenced to have the same meaning as defined in another section of the chapter, which typically relates to agricultural hemp with low THC content. By making this change, the bill provides clear legal authorization for feed manufacturers to incorporate hemp seed or hemp seed products into animal feed for these specific animal categories, potentially offering new nutritional options for animal diet and feed formulation. The legislation would take effect immediately upon passage, allowing for prompt implementation by feed producers and veterinary professionals.
