Federal Update — New Bill Introduced to Protect Hemp Businesses & Clarify Recent Language

The hemp industry received a meaningful development this week: a new bill has been introduced in Congress aimed at restoring clarity, protecting jobs, and supporting the nationwide hemp economy.

This update provides a clear, positive overview — with no speculation, no required changes, and no cause for concern.

Just steady guidance, business momentum, and the facts as they stand today.


What Happened This Week?

On November 17th, U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) introduced draft legislation titled the:

American Hemp Protection Act of 2025

The purpose of this bill is to repeal the recently added federal language that raised questions around certain ingestible hemp-derived products.

The Cannabis Business Times reports that the newly introduced bill is supported by both Republicans and Democrats, including:

  • Thomas Massie (R-KY)
  • Zoe Lofgren (D-CA)
  • James Baird (R-IN)

Why This Matters — In a Positive Way

This new bill signals something important:

Lawmakers recognize the value, scale, and economic importance of the hemp industry.

According to Rep. Mace, the U.S. hemp economy:

  • Supports 320,000+ jobs
  • Generates $28.4 billion in annual activity

This demonstrates strong political awareness and support — which is good news for manufacturers, suppliers, and B2B partners like those we serve every day.


What This Means for Manufacturers Today

1. Nothing changes right now

There are no new compliance requirements, no shifts in THC thresholds, and no operational changes for manufacturers.

2. It reinforces the importance of strong documentation

As visibility increases, retailers and distributors appreciate brands who have:

  • Batch-matched COAs
  • COCs and full traceability

Manufacturers are continuing to:

  • Increase production for Q1
  • Maintain strong retailer relationships
