NEBRASKA SENATORS OK BILL THAT ALLOWS GROWING INDUSTRIAL HEMP FOR
RESEARCH
Lincoln - Nebraska lawmakers passed a bill Thursday that would dip the
state's toes into industrial hemp production.
Legislative Bill 1001, passed 39-2, would allow the University of
Nebraska and State Department of Agriculture to grow industrial hemp
for research.
The measure, introduced by Sen. Norm Wallman of Cortland, mirrors the
new federal farm bill, which makes such research an exception to
federal drug laws.
