Judge bars DSHS from enforcing new hemp rules, sets late July trial date
· ValleyCentral (KGBT)
A temporary injunction has been granted to the Texas hemp industry, delaying the enforcement of four new rules issued by the Department of State Health Services (DSHS). The rules include changing the definition of total Delta-9 THC to include THCA, banning the transport of hemp across state lines, increasing licensing fees for manufacturers, growers, and retailers, and treating each day of DSHS rule violations as a unique violation. The hemp industry has raised concerns over the THC definition change and increased fees, which they claim would ban intoxicating smokable hemp products and run hemp producers and retailers out of business.
