INDIANAPOLIS (WPTA21) — A bill that was recently passed by the Indiana Senate looks to regulate the production of hemp and its uses.

Senate Bill 516 would create an Indiana hemp advisory committee to provide advice regarding Indiana’s hemp laws. It would also make some CBD products that are currently for sale in the state illegal.

The bill comes as the federal 2018 Farm Bill removed industrial hemp from the Controlled Substances Act.
