S711 - NC Farm Act of 2018. (SL 2018-113)

Overview: Sec. 4 of S.L. 2018-113 classifies "verified propagules," which are seeds or clones from an industrial hemp plant that has been laboratory tested and confirmed to have a THC concentration that complies with federal law, as hemp products. This would allow distribution of clones for cultivation. Under prior law, only certified seed was classified as a hemp product for purposes of cultivation.

This bill was vetoed by the Governor on June 25, 2018, and that veto was overridden by the General Assembly on June 27, 2018. This section became effective June 27, 2018.
