History
(2016-93, s. 5.)
Expiration of Article. - Session Laws 2015-299, s. 4, provides, in part: "This act shall expire on June 30 of the fiscal year in which the North Carolina Industrial Hemp Commission adopts and submits to the Governor and to the Revisor of Statutes a resolution that a State pilot program allowing farmers to lawfully grow industrial hemp is no longer necessary because (i) the United States Congress has enacted legislation that removes industrial hemp from the federal Controlled Substances Act and (ii) the legislation has taken effect." On August 19, 2021, the North Carolina Industrial Hemp Commission submitted to the Revisor of Statutes the resolution described in S.L. 2015-299, s. 4, as amended by S.L. 2016-93, s. 8. Article 50E of Chapter 106 thus will expire on June 30, 2022.
