Abstract

Defines "approved laboratory" for purposes of testing hemp. Establishes sampling requirements for testing hemp samples not more than 28 days before harvest for the purpose of ensuring that the harvest lot does not exceed the allowable delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration. Establishes testing requirements for each hemp harvest lot. Prohibits a THC test that involves the application of heat or decarboxylation or that requires tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) to be converted into THC. Provides that a grower who produces hemp with an average THC concentration exceeding 0.3% and not more than 1% on a dry weight basis is not guilty of negligently violating the requirements of the THC concentration requirements.
