AI Summary

  • Expands approved hemp seed sources to include federally certified programs and third-party certifiers without requiring state grow-out trials, and allows independently accredited laboratories for THC testing

  • Creates tiered grower categories including a "micro-grower" classification (under 1/4 acre or fewer than 200 plants) with scaled fees, reporting, and inspection requirements

  • Allows growers to retain and remediate hemp testing between 0.3% and 1.0% THC for nonintoxicating industrial use before mandatory destruction; only hemp over 1.0% THC requires immediate destruction

  • Eliminates in-state transportation permits between registered parties when shipments include a certificate of analysis, and extends harvest window to 30 days after sample collection

  • Removes felony conviction disqualification for registration applicants and establishes corrective-action-plan procedures that prioritize compliance over immediate penalties
