Georgia

HB 336 has some good elements, but when it comes to how it treats license eligibility, it goes too far. The bill would deny a hemp license to any person with any felony conviction or a misdemeanor controlled substances conviction. And worse, the licensure ban would be permanent. These licensure disqualifications are far more restrictive than the limited felony conviction ban in the 2018 Farm Bill.
