A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO INDUSTRIAL HEMP.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The legislature recognizes that the recently-enacted Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, informally known as the "Farm Bill", among other matters, legalized hemp by removing hemp from the definition of "marihuana" contained in the federal Controlled Substances Act. Therefore, hemp is no longer classified as an illegal drug under federal law. The Agriculture Improvement Act also makes amendments to the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946. These amendments authorize the department of agriculture of each state to submit to the federal Secretary of Agriculture a proposed plan for the state's department of agriculture to monitor and regulate hemp production within the state. After the federal Secretary of Agriculture approves a state plan, authorized entities within the respective state may engage in the production of hemp, including at the commercial level.
The legislature finds that the university of Hawaii's research on hemp shows that there is significant potential for a successful hemp agricultural industry in Hawaii. In addition to creating new agricultural commerce, hemp is also beneficial in removing toxins from the soil (phytoremediation), which is important because past agricultural operations in the State have deposited toxins in vast tracts of land. Hemp grows quickly and is a superior phytoremediation crop. The legislature also finds that hemp is an environmentally-friendly and efficient feedstock for biofuel. Hemp can be made into clothing and used in other products to promote the growth of small businesses.
The legislature also finds that although the State has authorized the limited production of hemp through its industrial hemp pilot program, progress in that program has been stalled by the rules, policies, and practices of the state department of agriculture, which have been far more onerous than even the requirements established under previous federal law.
The purpose of this Act is to facilitate the regulation and production of industrial hemp in the State by:
(1) Requiring the department of agriculture to establish a permanent industrial hemp program to license individuals to cultivate industrial hemp in the State;
(2) Imposing a monetary penalty on any person who produces hemp without authorization from a state or federal program;
(3) Establishing an affirmative defense to criminal penalties for the cultivation of industrial hemp;
(4) Authorizing licensees to utilize hemp genetics, from any state, that meet federal definitions of hemp and originate from any state having a federally approved industrial hemp program;
(5) Authorizing the department of agriculture to use temporary inspectors to perform industrial hemp inspections;
(6) Exempting certain persons who transport and move certain hemp plant materials from penalties and reporting requirements relating to the transportation and movement of those materials;
(7) Amending definitions of "marijuana" in state law to clarify that hemp is not marijuana;
(8) Requiring the chairperson of the board of agriculture to:
(A) Prepare and submit a proposed state plan to monitor and regulate hemp production, including commercial production and research, to the federal Secretary of Agriculture pursuant to section 297B of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946, as amended; and
(B) Report to the governor, speaker of the house of representatives, and president of the senate on the status of the federal Secretary of Agriculture's pending approval of the state plan and, if approved, the subsequent implementation of the plan; and
