Help Regulate Hemp Derived Products in Arizona
The Hemp-Derived Products (HDP) Safety & Regulation Bill was developed in consultation with the Arizona Department of Agriculture alongside many hemp industry stake holders. The purpose is to update and revise Arizona’s hemp statutes to reflect how the hemp industry has moved forward and evolved since the inception of the Arizona hemp program in 2018.
Economic Impacts of Arizona Pro-Hemp Regulation
Arizona is one of many states that is trying to balance public safety and consumer protection with the support of a nascent industry. With the amount of uncertainty and regulation murkiness at the federal level, the hemp industry is hoping states can adopt sensible regulation without being overly burdensome or restrictive or market opportunities. Regulation at the product level, based on intoxication, would allow for the deployment of age verification, testing and labeling regulations, supported by the hemp industry, without inflicting damaging unintended consequences on existing operators, other sectors and ancillary businesses. This would seemingly address many of the public safety concerns, address bad-actors in the space and fulfill many other public policy objectives.
