This bill would
allow growers of industrial hemp licensed by the Department of Agriculture,
Conservation and Forestry (ACF) to grow industrial hemp from a clone or
tissue cultures removed from live crops grown from a certified seed source. The bill would also direct ACF to adopt
rules for the application and licensing of industrial hemp grown indoors, but
only if the license is for an academic research program conducted through a
post-secondary institution. Any
additional costs to the ACF as a result of rulemaking are anticipated to be
minor and can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources. |
|
Because any
additional licensees or licensed acreage would be limited to those involved
in research activities through post-secondary institutions, it is estimated
that there will be a limited number of program participants, generating minor
Other Special Revenue Funds revenue. |
