260.852 Commonwealth's hemp policy. It is the declared policy of the Commonwealth that hemp is a viable agricultural crop in the Commonwealth. The purposes of KRS 260.850 to 260.869 are to: (1) Promote the research and study methods of cultivating, processing, and marketing hemp; (2) Promote the expansion of the Commonwealth's hemp industry to the maximum extent permitted by federal law by allowing citizens of the Commonwealth to cultivate, handle, or process hemp and hemp products for commercial purposes; and (3) Move the Commonwealth and its citizens to the forefront of the hemp industry. Effective: February 10, 2020 History: Amended 2020 Ky. Acts ch. 1, sec. 4, effective February 10, 2020. -- Created 2017 Ky. Acts ch. 45, sec. 2, effective March 20, 2017. Legislative Research Commission Note (3/20/2017). 2017 Ky. Acts ch. 45 contained 13 sections. Sections 1 to 10 of that Act amended, repealed and reenacted, or created statutes relating to the industrial hemp research program found in the statutory range of KRS 260.850 to 260.869. Sections 11 and 12 amended or created statutes in other KRS chapters, and Section 13 repealed some statutes within KRS 260.850 to 260.869. The correct reference should have been to only Sections 1 to 10 of this Act, the relevant range affecting the industrial hemp research program, and in codification the Reviser of Statutes has codified that language in this statute accordingly under the authority of KRS 7.136(1)(h) to correct manifest clerical or typographical errors.
