At MC Nutraceuticals, an integral part of our mission is to drive positive change within the hemp industry by prioritizing awareness, advocacy through shaping fair regulations, and the sharing of vital information to support the prosperity of business owners and consumers alike. The hemp industry has experienced a tumultuous week during this demanding legislative session. We have some critical updates to share regarding the ongoing regulatory challenges stemming from the Farm Bill and the varied interpretations by multiple states.
Florida
SB 1698 passed unanimously through the Senate yesterday and is headed to the Governor’s desk for approval. Florida needs support from the entire industry to secure a veto!Â
We urge all FL residents to send an email to Governor DeSantis HERE expressing how the loss of the Hemp Industry will impact your life.
South CarolinaÂ
South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) has issued an updated guidance on hemp-infused beverages and is moving along in its legislative process.Â
Please reach out and donate to South Carolina Healthy Alternatives Association (SCHAA) if you are interested in joining the fight to stand against unjust regulations.
GeorgiaÂ
The recently passed HB 1322 has raised concerns as it received near-unanimous support in the House. This bill threatens to eliminate all minor cannabinoids and establish a Total THC standard for hemp and its derivatives.
The legislation mentioned above bears striking resemblance to the prohibitionist language passed in Florida and could lead to substantial economic consequences throughout the hemp industry. We are actively collaborating with leadership to enact impactful amendments. Stay tuned for updates as we closely monitor the current legislative session impacting the hemp industry!
