The bill will be presented by Governor Herbert, and it will become law upon his signature. The bill directs the Department of Agriculture and Food to establish a licensing and oversight program for a commercial hemp industry. Like the 2018 Farm Bill, the legislation prohibits a person who has been convicted of a drug related felony from obtaining a license. The Department is also directed to adopt rules that govern the registration and sale of CBD products in Utah including testing and labeling requirements. Although the Department will be responsible for overseeing this market, the amendment removes the Department’s authority to seize and destroy non-registered CBD products. ## Share this post [mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fhs.getobedio.com%2Fblog%2F2019%2F03%2F17%2F2019-3-17-utah-passes-legislation-to-create-commercial-hemp-industry-and-regulate-cbd-products](mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fhs.getobedio.com%2Fblog%2F2019%2F03%2F17%2F2019-3-17-utah-passes-legislation-to-create-commercial-hemp-industry-and-regulate-cbd-products) ## Keep reading ### [California Ballot Measure Local Municipalities California voters will decide 118 local tax measures and $8.07 billion in bond requests on November 3](https://hs.getobedio.com/blog/california-voters-will-decide-118-local-tax-measures-and-8.07-billion-in-bond-requests-on-november-3) ### [Local Ordinance Zoning Ordinance Development Data Federal Realty Asks La Mesa to Approve a 165,000-Square-Foot Bass Pro Shops Where Macy's Stood at Grossmont Center](https://hs.getobedio.com/blog/federal-realty-asks-la-mesa-to-approve-a-165000-square-foot-bass-pro-shops-where-macys-stood-at-grossmont-center) [![Obedio your municipal data source](https://hs.getobedio.com/hs-fs/hubfs/google%20workspace-1.png?width=100&height=41&name=google%20workspace-1.png "Obedio your municipal data source")](https://getobedio.com) Obedio's business intelligence platform provides data and insights from over 25,000 municipalities, enabling retail, manufacturing, finance, real estate, and government clients to make informed decisions, assess risk, and identify opportunities. **Data Source & Liability Disclaimer:** The data presented on this website is aggregated from various official government and public entities ("The Original Government Sources").
