House Republicans will face a challenge next month regarding the regulation of intoxicating hemp products as part of a bill to keep the government funded.
The Senate has passed a temporary funding bill that delays a federal ban on hemp-derived THC products until December 11.
An amendment to maintain the ban was voted down by a significant number of Republicans, indicating division within the party.
House Freedom Caucus Chairman, Andy Harris, opposes the delay, claiming these products are unsafe and unregulated.
The ban addresses a loophole from the 2018 farm bill that allowed the sale of intoxicating hemp derivatives.
With the funding deadline approaching on September 30, any changes could complicate the legislative process, necessitating bipartisan support.
The outcome of this debate will impact both hemp businesses and the federal government’s approach to regulating emerging markets.
