Bill > S2112

This bill, known as the Hemp Economic Mobilization Plan (HEMP) Act of 2025, proposes significant changes to hemp regulations in the United States. The bill primarily increases the legal threshold for delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration in hemp from 0.3% to 1% on a dry weight basis, which would allow farmers to grow hemp with a slightly higher THC content without it being classified as marijuana. Additionally, the bill introduces new transportation requirements for hemp, mandating that individuals moving hemp products must carry either a valid agricultural license or a laboratory certificate demonstrating the THC concentration is below 1%. The bill also requires testing methods with a measurement uncertainty not exceeding 0.075%, and instructs the Secretary of Agriculture to update federal regulations within 90 days to align with these new provisions. These changes aim to provide more flexibility for hemp producers while maintaining regulatory oversight of THC levels in hemp products, potentially supporting the growth of the hemp industry by offering farmers more leeway in crop cultivation and transportation.
