prohibit processing of industrial hemp by extraction.

HB 1268 prohibits the processing of industrial hemp through extraction methods in South Dakota. This law directly affects businesses and individuals involved in hemp production, particularly those who might use extraction to create hemp-derived products. The bill restricts specific processing activities rather than banning hemp cultivation entirely, limiting how hemp can be handled within the state. By disallowing extraction, the legislation aims to control the types of hemp products that can be legally produced and sold.
