SB 5372 would create a registration for hemp processors to manufacture hemp extract for use as a food additive in states where hemp extract is legal as a food additive. This is an important expansion of Washington law, which currently states that hemp extract cannot be added to food or sold as a dietary supplement. Although there is troublesome language in the bill about products with more than 0.3% delta-9 THC being marijuana, on the whole, SB 5372 is a good bill that will open new markets for Washington’s hemp farmers and manufacturers and protect hemp extract manufacturing for purposes of banking and other ancillary services.
