The bill amends the Industrial Hemp Growers Act by updating several sections to clarify definitions and regulations surrounding industrial hemp cultivation in Michigan. Key insertions include the definition of "acceptable THC level," which specifies the measurement of uncertainty for total delta-9-THC concentration, and the introduction of terms such as "noncompliant industrial hemp" and "official hemp sample." Additionally, the bill outlines the responsibilities of growers, including compliance with registration requirements and restrictions on the sale and disposal of industrial hemp.

Significant deletions from the current law include the removal of references to "processor-handlers" licensed under previous acts, which streamlines the language regarding the sale of industrial hemp. The bill also emphasizes the need for growers to maintain records of sales and adhere to compliance monitoring protocols. Overall, these amendments aim to enhance the regulatory framework for industrial hemp production, ensuring better oversight and compliance within the industry.
