Arkansas Industrial Hemp Act

The Industrial Hemp Act establishes a state regulatory framework for the cultivation and handling of industrial hemp and hemp products. It requires growers and handlers to obtain licenses or register with the administering agency, authorizes that agency to adopt implementing rules and conduct administrative hearings on enforcement matters, and directs licensing and penalty revenue into a dedicated regulatory fund. The act also extends limited immunity to those operating within its terms and conditions its operation on compliance with governing federal hemp law.
