Dear readers, friends, affiliates, and colleagues,
There is a sense of urgency for a bill that goes to hearing tomorrow – HB 2453. This bill will be heard by the Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources tomorrow at 9AM to decide whether or not to let this bill continue through the legislative pipeline to the judiciary.
HB 2453 will expand West Virginia’s industrial hemp pilot program to include more participants. The pilot program is operating to develop market and scientific research – why wouldn’t our state allow more participants? Allowing more participants results in more diversified data and is a force multiplier!
