SB 27-INDUSTRIAL HEMP PROGRAM; MANUFACTURING 1:49:07 PM ACTING CHAIR STEVENS reconvened the meeting and announced the consideration of SENATE BILL NO. 27, "An Act relating to industrial hemp; and providing for an effective date." He asked Mr. Whitt to provide any additional comments on SB 27. 1:49:41 PM BUDDY WHITT, Staff, Senator Shelley Hughes, Alaska State Legislature, Juneau, Alaska, stated that the sponsor asked him to speak to two items that came up during the initial hearing. The first related to the prohibition for individuals with controlled substance felonies to be part of the program. He read the following federal prohibition: The federal government requires that each United States department of agriculture approved USDA state plan contain provisions related to felonies. In part, the provisions are required to state that a person with a state or federal felony conviction related to a controlled substance is subject to a 10-year ineligibility restriction on participating in the plan and producing hemp under the state or tribal plan from the date of the conviction. MR. WHITT said the second item was about a tax on hemp. He emphasized that SB 27 does not recommend a tax of any kind on individuals who decide to grow industrial hemp. There is a fee to grow, manufacture, or retail industrial hemp, but no tax. 1:52:55 PM ACTING CHAIR STEVENS opened public testimony on SB 27. 1:53:39 PM EMBER HAYNES, Denali Hemp Co, Talkeetna, Alaska, stated that this is the second year that she and her husband have been registered growers in the Alaska Hemp Program. For the last six years, they have represented small acreage producers interested in incorporating industrial hemp as a sustainable crop to provide food, nutrition, and improved soil health. Landowners regularly contact her to ask about growing hemp as feed, for crop rotation, or green manure. She encouraged the passage of SB 27 and the many uses of the hemp plant as an agricultural crop and products not currently considered in the language of the hemp program. ACTING CHAIR STEVENS noted who was available to answer questions. 1:55:41 PM ACTING CHAIR STEVENS closed public testimony on SB 27 and solicited a motion. 1:55:50 PM SENATOR HOLLAND moved to report SB 27, work order 32-LS0249\A as amended, from committee with individual recommendations and attached fiscal note(s). ACTING CHAIR STEVENS found no objection and CSSB 27(L&C) passed from the Senate Labor and Commerce Standing Committee.
