USDA'S FINAL HEMP RULE:These 7 key provisions are now in effect.

摘要

The USDA's final rule regulating the domestic production of hemp was published at the beginning of 2021 and went into effect March 22. This final rule builds onthe October 2019 interim final rule (IFR) that established the U.S. Domestic Hemp Production Program."With the publication of this final rule, USDA brings to a close a full and transparent rulemaking process that started with a hemp listening session in March 2019," said USDA Marketing and Regulatory Programs Deputy Undersecretary Mae Wu. USDA used feedback from three comment periods and a growing season to develop regulations that meet congressional intent while providing a fair, consistent, science-based process for states, tribes, and individual producers.
