What this bill does
- This bill delays by two years when new federal hemp product regulations take effect, from November 2026 to November 2028.
- Hemp farmers, retailers, and manufacturers are affected, as are consumers of hemp-derived products.
- The delay requires no new federal spending and provides businesses more time to comply with stricter THC testing and product restrictions.
