To amend the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agency Appropriations Act, 2026, to delay the implementation of amendments made by such Act to the hemp production provisions of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946.
Sponsored By: Representative Baird, James R. [R-IN-4]
Introduced
Summary
A three-year delay in implementing recent hemp production amendments is the bill's purpose. It would change the timing trigger in Section 781 of Public Law 119-37 from "365 days" to "3 years". That postpones when the hemp provisions of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946 take effect and does not change funding, eligibility, or enforcement rules.
