A bill for an act limiting the authority of counties and cities to regulate hemp production on land zoned for specific purposes.

HF 2300 prevents Iowa counties and cities from creating or enforcing local rules that restrict where federally licensed hemp producers can operate. Specifically, it prohibits local governments from regulating, restricting, or banning hemp production on land zoned for commercial or industrial use. The bill directly affects hemp businesses seeking to locate operations in these zones by removing potential local regulatory barriers. It does not change state hemp laws or affect land zoned for residential or agricultural purposes. This is a regulatory limitation bill focused on preempting local ordinances.
