Called House Bill 126, this bill is the industrial hemp legalization bill. Idaho farmers, like many in other states are now able to grow hemp crops as well as process and transport the plant.
The gem state is the last state that has not legalized industrial hemp. On the federal level, it has been legal to grow hemp since 2018 farm bill passed. For Idaho, the house just voted in approval, now it goes on to the senate.
