S. 1005 · 117th Congress
HEMP Act of 2021
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 117th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Hemp Economic Mobilization Plan Act of 2021 or the HEMP Act of 2021
What it does: CRS summary · Introduced in Senate · Mar 25, 2021
Hemp Economic Mobilization Plan Act of 2021 or the HEMP Act of 2021
This bill modifies the definition of hemp to raise the tetrahydrocannabinol (THC, the psychoactive component of marijuana) limit from 0.3% to 1%.
Additionally, the bill requires the Department of Agriculture (USDA) and state and tribal governments to test hemp-derived products rather than the hemp flower or plant itself and creates a margin of error in hemp testing using 0.075% as the baseline standard.
Further, it requires hemp shipments to contain (1) a copy of a valid license or other authorization from USDA or a state or tribal government, or (2) a copy of a certification from a laboratory showing that such hemp contains a THC concentration of not more than 1% on a dry weight basis.
