Prohibit sale of intoxicating hemp products

This bill establishes a regulatory framework for the cultivation and processing of hemp in the state by requiring businesses to obtain specific licenses from the Department of Agriculture. It defines hemp as a plant containing no more than 0.3% delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol and explicitly prohibits the sale of intoxicating hemp products. The legislation mandates that license applicants undergo background checks and prohibits anyone with a recent controlled substance felony conviction from obtaining a license. Additionally, the bill requires the department to set uniform application and annual fees that cover administrative costs and mandates that licensed entities cannot cultivate or process marijuana.
