Virginia Senate Committee Unanimously Approves Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2015
Virginia’s Senate Agriculture, Conservation and Natural Resources Committee has voted unanimously
to approve the Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2015, a proposal to establish a hemp research program. The measure, which has already been approved unanimously by the state’s House of Delegates, will go to Governor Terry McAuliffe once passed by the full Senate.
If approved into law, House Bill 1277 would direct the Virginia Department of Agriculture to establish an industrial hemp research program, including determining specific regulation. Universities in the state would be authorized to cultivate and study the plant.
