Department of Agriculture rule relating to select plant-based derivatives and select plant-based derivative products of hemp and kratom

SB 317 authorizes the West Virginia Department of Agriculture to implement a specific regulatory rule regarding plant-based derivatives from hemp and kratom. The bill references the existing rule (61 CSR 30), which was modified and refiled in December 2025 after addressing legislative committee feedback. This is a procedural bill that does not create new policy but formally approves the Department's authority to enforce the rule. It directly affects businesses and regulators handling these products under the Department's oversight.
