This bill amends the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 to provide for state and tribal regulation of hemp production. Key provisions include: - Defines "hemp" as the Cannabis sativa L. plant and its derivatives with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration of no more than 0.3% on a dry weight basis. - Allows states and Indian tribes to submit plans to the Secretary of Agriculture for primary regulatory authority over hemp production within their jurisdictions, subject to certain requirements. - Establishes procedures for handling negligent violations and other violations of state or tribal hemp production plans. - Provides funding for hemp research and ensures the legitimacy of industrial hemp research. - Includes hemp in the Federal Crop Insurance Act, allowing it to be insured as an agricultural commodity. - Amends the Controlled Substances Act to exclude hemp from the definition of "marihuana" and to exempt hemp-derived tetrahydrocannabinols from Schedule I control. - Clarifies that the bill does not authorize interference with the interstate commerce of hemp.
