A measure that would have allowed adults to possess and use hemp extract was killed Tuesday by a House committee.
The House Judiciary Committee, in a 4-4 tie vote, defeated HB 100, which would have legalized the use of hemp extract by adults.
Under state law, hemp extract can now be used medicinally. HB 100 would have removed the restrictions on its use, including one that people who are prescribed hemp extract or “hemp oil” by a doctor obtain a registration card.
