West Virginia

Thanks to your efforts in West Virginia, a committee substitute to SB 679 removes the original bill’s 0.3% restriction for all hemp-derived cannabinoids. The latest version now primarily addresses other requirements, clarifying that hemp cannabinoid product manufacturers, processors, distributors, and sellers, including out-of-state distributors and sellers, are subject to permitting, labeling, and other administrative requirements. Requirements include that hemp business must obtain a business registration certificate and hemp cannabinoid products may not be sold without an approved label.
