CA SB292

Modifies hemp testing requirements to allow sampling within a timeframe determined by the department instead of the fixed 30-day pre-harvest window, and requires laboratory reports to include measurement of uncertainty associated with test results.

Changes the Industrial Hemp Advisory Board composition from 5 to 6 registered grower members and removes the Hemp Industries Association representative position.

Requires registered hemp growers, breeders, and research institutions to report production information to the USDA Farm Service Agency, including location, acreage, and license/registration numbers for all hemp production sites.

Updates hemp registration application requirements to specify country of origin (rather than county of origin) for approved cultivars and changes testing plans from "all plants" to "representative sample" of plants for research institutions and breeders.

Modifies enforcement procedures to specify that negligent violations result in corrective action plans and periodic reporting requirements, with no criminal enforcement action allowed for negligent violations, while intentional violations or those involving recklessness must be reported to state and federal attorneys general.
