Hemp Planting Predictability Act

What this bill does
- This bill delays new federal hemp regulations by two years, pushing their start date from November 2026 to November 2028.
- Hemp farmers, processors, and businesses selling hemp-derived products are affected by the stricter THC testing and product rules.
- The delay gives the industry more time to comply with tighter federal controls over total THC content and cannabinoid products.
