Bill Summary
This bill prohibits counties and cities from adopting or enforcing any regulation or restriction that regulates, restricts, or prohibits the location of hemp production by a USDA licensee as defined in Code section 204A.2 in any location zoned for commercial or industrial purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, by adding new sections to Iowa Code chapters 335 and 414, prevents counties and cities from creating or enforcing any rules that would regulate, restrict, or prohibit hemp production by a licensee approved by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in areas already zoned for commercial or industrial use. This means that if land is designated for businesses or industries, local governments cannot stop or limit hemp farming operations from being located there, provided the farmer has the necessary USDA license.
