A bill that legalizes hemp in Indiana has passed but the Indiana State Chemist and Seed Commissioner says there is more to be done before it is implemented.
Robert Waltz says the bill authorizes a hemp advisory committee to
establish rules and regulations for a hemp program in Indiana.
The committee will report to the office of the Indiana state chemist and seed commissioner for two years.
“One of the more critical things they’ll be doing is looking at the proposal that goes forward out of the state of Indiana to USDA for final approval of a program in Indiana for 2020,” he says.
