Agriculture - As enacted, makes various changes relative to the regulation of hemp-derived cannabinoid products. - Amends TCA Title 1, Chapter 3; Title 39; Title 43, Chapter 27; Title 53; Title 57, Chapter 7 and Title 67, Chapter 6.
SB 1761 amends Tennessee law to extend the required retention period for hemp regulatory records from five to ten years. The bill directly affects the Tennessee Department of Agriculture, which must now maintain all records it creates or receives related to hemp regulation for the longer period. This change modifies Section 43-27-102(c) of the Tennessee Code, specifically updating the record retention timeframe without altering hemp cultivation or licensing rules. The bill is procedural, focusing solely on administrative record-keeping requirements.
