HSB 753 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act regulating hemp and associated products, providing penalties, and including effective date provisions.

Iowa's HSB 753 regulates hemp products by defining key terms like "raw hemp," "semisynthetic cannabinoid," and "synthetic cannabinoid," while explicitly excluding synthetic and semisynthetic products from its rules. It classifies legally produced hemp as an agricultural commodity, allowing its commercial sale without being treated as a controlled substance - provided it meets federal and state THC limits (tested per established requirements). The bill requires hemp products to comply with THC testing standards and clarifies that hemp-derived products aren't regulated as drugs or tobacco absent specific authorization. This directly affects hemp farmers, processors, and retailers in Iowa by setting uniform statewide rules for lawful hemp commerce.
