H 772 Idaho House · 68th Legislature, 2nd Regular Session (2026)

INDUSTRIAL HEMP – Amends existing law to provide for negligent violations.

Idaho's H 772 clarifies when hemp producers avoid "negligent violation" penalties under state law. It specifies that producers won't face penalties if they grow hemp solely for grain or fiber, make reasonable efforts to keep THC below 1% (dry weight), and comply with Idaho's hemp plan and THC rules. This directly affects hemp growers who meet these conditions, providing them protection from penalties for unintentional THC exceedances. The bill amends Idaho Code Section 22-1705 to define these specific exemptions.
