Hemp Bill Heads to Senate Committee Tuesday

A bill legalizing industrial hemp production in South Dakota will be in front of the Senate Ag & Natural Resources Committee Tuesday. It already passed through the House by a wide margin.

Senate Majority Leader Kris Langer of Dell Rapids says they haven’t talked about it much yet in the GOP caucus.

Assistant Majority Leader Senator Jim Bolin of Canton says he thinks there is pretty good support for the bill.

Legislators took a four-day weekend and will return to Pierre Tuesday.
