American Hemp Protection Act of 2025

Key Points

• Congresswoman Mace and a bipartisan group of lawmakers introduced this bill to stop new federal rules from affecting the hemp industry. It would repeal a specific part of a recent government funding law that changed how hemp is regulated.
• The bill is designed to protect farmers and small businesses that grow or sell hemp. Many in the industry worry that recent changes to the law could make it harder to produce hemp products or lead to confusing new requirements for business owners.
• The repeal would be backdated to November 12, 2025. This ensures that any new restrictions passed earlier in the month would be completely removed, allowing the industry to continue operating under the older, more familiar rules.
