The

by

the
general

20
BACKGROUND.
This
bill
amends
Code
chapter
204,
the
21
“Iowa
Hemp
Act”
(IHA)
(Code
section
204.1),
authorizing
22
the
production
of
a
certain
type
of
cannabis
(sativa
L.)
23
and
the
sale
of
products
processed
from
hemp
(Code
section
24
204.7).
Hemp
is
defined
as
composed
of
a
species
of
cannabis
25
(sativa
L.)
having
a
maximum
concentration
of
delta-9
26
tetrahydrocannabinol
(THC)
that
does
not
exceed
three-tenths
of
27
1
percent
on
a
dry
weight
basis
(Code
section
204.2).
28
The
IHA
removed
hemp
from
the
list
of
schedule
I
controlled
29
substances
and
the
excise
tax
imposed
on
the
sale
of
controlled
30
substances
(see
Code
chapters
124
and
453B).
The
applicable
31
criminal
penalty
for
an
offense
under
those
Code
chapters
32
ranges
from
imprisonment
for
not
more
than
six
months
or
a
fine
33
of
not
more
than
$1,000
to
50
years
imprisonment
and
a
fine
34
of
not
more
than
$1
million
(see
Code
sections
124.401
and
35
-7-

S.F.

453B.12).
1
In
order
for
cannabis
to
be
classified
as
hemp
and
not
2
a
controlled
substance,
a
person
must
comply
with
IHA
3
requirements.
The
IHA
in
turn
must
satisfy
certification
4
requirements
adopted
by
the
United
States
department
of
5
agriculture
(USDA)
under
the
federal
Agriculture
Improvement
6
Act
of
2018
(federal
hemp
law)
(Pub.
L.
No.
115-334),
which
7
allows
states
and
tribes
to
assume
primary
regulatory
8
authority
over
its
production,
including
harvest,
storage,
9
and
distribution.
The
IHA
and
the
USDA
has
designated
Iowa’s
10
department
of
agriculture
and
land
stewardship
(DALS)
as
11
primarily
responsible
for
regulating
hemp
production
in
12
cooperation
with
the
department
of
public
safety
(DPS).
13
The
IHA
defines
a
hemp
product
as
derived
from
or
made
by
14
processing
hemp
or
parts
of
hemp.
Generally,
the
IHA
allows
a
15
person
to
engage
in
the
retail
sale
of
a
hemp
product
so
long
16
as
the
hemp
was
produced
in
this
state
or
another
state
in
17
compliance
with
the
federal
hemp
law
(Code
section
204.7).
By
18
its
own
terms,
the
federal
hemp
law
is
not
construed
to
affect
19
or
modify
certain
federal
law,
including
the
federal
Food,
20
Drug,
and
Cosmetic
Act
(21
U.S.C.
§301
et
seq.).
Generally,
21
the
United
States
food
and
drug
administration
(FDA)
regulates
22
human
foods
and
additives,
dietary
supplements,
drugs,
and
23
cosmetics
(see
7
U.S.C.
§1639r),
but
the
FDA
has
not
adopted
24
a
comprehensive
regulatory
framework.
In
the
meantime,
25
the
IHA
recognizes
a
consumable
hemp
product
(CHP)
that
is
26
metabolized
when
introduced
into
the
human
body,
including
by
27
ingestion
or
absorption
but
excluding
inhalation
(Code
sections
28
204.2
and
204.14A).
A
person
is
prohibited
from
possessing,
29
using,
manufacturing,
marketing,
transporting,
delivering,
or
30
distributing
harvested
hemp
or
a
hemp
product
if
the
intended
31
use
is
introduction
into
the
body
by
an
article
that
utilizes
32
an
electronic,
chemical,
or
mechanical
process,
or
a
device
33
such
as
a
cigarette,
cigar,
cigarillo,
or
pipe.
34
The
IHA
requires
a
person
manufacturing
or
selling
a
CHP
to
35
-8-

with

department
of
health
and
human
services
(HHS)

(Code
section
204.7
and
641
IAC
ch.
156).
HHS’s
regulations
2
include
packaging
and
labeling
requirements.
3
A
person
violating
the
IHA
is
subject
to
a
civil
penalty
4
of
not
less
than
$500
and
not
more
than
$2,000
(Code
section
5
204.12).
DALS
may
impose,
assess,
and
collect
the
civil
6
penalty
(Code
section
204.12).
DALS
in
cooperation
with
7
DPS
or
a
local
law
enforcement
agency
(county
sheriff
or
8
municipal
police
department)
may
also
confiscate
and
destroy
9
illegally
produced
hemp.
DALS
or
the
attorney
general
may
seek
10
injunctive
relief
in
order
to
restrain
a
person
violating
the
11
Code
chapter
by
petitioning
the
district
court
(Code
section
12
204.13).
The
injunction
could
address
either
hemp
or
a
hemp
13
product.
