Bill overview
This bill changes how the Food and Drug Administration regulates hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD). It aims to classify CBD as a dietary supplement rather than a drug and allows for the interstate sale of foods containing CBD. The bill also directs the Department of Agriculture to conduct a study on the challenges faced by hemp producers and report its findings to Congress.
