Industrial Hemp Legislation Moving Forward



Shortly after the Industrial Hemp Bill passed the Kentucky Senate Thursday, Kentucky's US Senator's put forth an industrial hemp bill to the US Senate.

Kentucky's Senate voted overwhelmingly in favor of Senator Paul Hornback's Industrial Hemp Bill. Agriculture Commissioner James Comer says he is extremely proud of the Kentucky State Senate for its commitment to job creation in Kentucky. The bill passed 31 to 6.

Also Thursday Senators Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul introduced legislation to allow American farmers to cultivate industrial hemp and profit from it. The Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2013 would remove federal restrictions on the domestic cultivation of industrial hemp.
