NEW CONTENT***New Sponsor Added to H.R.525 - Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2015

Rep. Nolan, Richard M. [D-MN-8]

This brings the total sponsors to 69, up from the original 47. The current sponsors indicate bipartisan support.

The verbiage of the bill is quite simple: 'To amend the Controlled Substances Act to exclude industrial hemp from the definition of marihuana'

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.
