This bill lets states and Native American tribes leave the federal hemp regulatory system and run their own rules for growing and selling hemp and hemp products like CBD goods. To opt out, they send a notice instead of submitting a detailed plan to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. They must require a minimum age to buy hemp-derived products, and they keep their own definitions of hemp and related goods.
This affects hemp farmers, hemp product businesses, and consumers in any state or tribal territory that chooses to opt out of the federal program.
States and tribes that opt out can set standards that differ from or are stricter than federal rules. No state or tribe can block hemp shipments to or from a self-regulating state or tribe, though products moving between two self-regulating places must follow the rules of both.
