***New Sponsor Added to S.134 - Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2015

Sen. Sanders, Bernard [I-VT]

This brings the total sponsors to 10, up from the original 3. The current sponsors indicate bipartisan support.

Sen. McConnell, Mitch [R-KY] is the Senate Majority Leader, one of the original sponsors, and has historically shown support for hemp legalization (Hemp is legal in Kentucky).

President Barack Obama signed the 2013 Farm Bill, showing support for the movement, and has been outspoken that the Fed will not interfere with the emerging Cannabis markets.
