New rules for hemp product sellers

Beginning July 1, 2026, stores that sell hemp products to eat or inhale must follow Idaho’s industrial hemp rules. This does not cover nonviable hulled hemp seed, hemp seed protein powder, or hemp seed oil. Products must meet the standards in Idaho Code 37-2701(u) and 37-2705(d)(29)(i). The department may set fees and penalties by rule, using negotiated rulemaking. It cannot fine you unless you get notice and a hearing, and you can appeal within 30 days.

Rules for moving hemp across states

Beginning July 1, 2026, you may keep transporting industrial hemp across state lines. You must follow Idaho Code 67-2921 when moving hemp in interstate commerce.
