SB39

The amendment reorganizes and renumbers the definitions section of the industrial hemp law, clarifying the definition of "greenhouse" by removing unnecessary language and reordering the definitions for better structure, while also substantively preserving the existing regulatory framework for industrial hemp. This change NARROWS the scope slightly by making the greenhouse definition more precise (removing "which is" and using "contain" instead) but primarily REDIRECTS the bill toward clearer statutory organization rather than changing hemp policy itself.

The amendment drastically narrows the bill by removing most definitional provisions—eliminating detailed definitions of "applicant," "key participant," "greenhouse," "lot," "measurement of uncertainty," and "industrial hemp stalk bale"—while retaining only the core definitions needed for hemp licensing and processing. This gutting of the regulatory framework significantly WEAKENS the bill's original comprehensive approach to industrial hemp regulation by stripping out foundational operational and administrative definitions.
