GOOD NEWS FOR H**P: We just gained four more weeks.
Today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the federal funding bill containing a 4-week extension of the current federal h**p definition, delaying the federal h**p ban currently scheduled to take effect on November 12.
The bill passed the House 370–48, after previously passing the Senate 90–6. It now heads to President Trump’s desk.
If signed into law, the effective date of the new federal h**p restrictions will move from November 12 to December 11, giving Congress additional time to work toward a long-term solution for the h**p industry.
This is not a permanent fix, and our work is far from over. But every additional day gives our industry more time to advocate for a regulatory framework that protects consumers, supports farmers and small businesses, and preserves access to legal h**p products.
Over the last several weeks, h**p businesses, advocates and consumers across the country have made their voices heard, and we can’t let up now.
We now have four more weeks to keep fighting for a solution based on responsible regulation.
The fight continues!🌱
