HEMP Act of 2024
This bill raises the allowable THC limit in hemp from 0.3% to 1% for legal cultivation and sale. It requires hemp producers and transporters to provide either a valid state/Tribal license or a lab certificate confirming THC levels at or below 1% during shipping. The bill also updates federal regulations to reflect this change, with the Agriculture Secretary directed to revise related rules within 90 days. These changes directly affect hemp farmers, processors, and transporters operating under current federal hemp programs.
