Newspaper Page TextA2 THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, APRIL 30, 2019 It’s ‘go time’ for Washington Oregon judge issues nationwide injunction on Trump’s abortion rules hemp, advocate says By CONRAD WILSON Oregon Public Broadcasting Gov. Inslee signs new bill into law A federal judge in Ore- gon issued a nationwide pre- liminary injunction on Mon- day preventing new Trump administration rules that could have cut off funding for abortion providers from taking effect. The ruling from U.S. Dis- trict Court Judge Michael McShane was the second By DON JENKINS Capital Press OLYMPIA, Wash. — Washington Gov. Jay Inslee has signed a bill loosening restrictions on growing and processing hemp, though farmers still will need to buy a license from the state and submit harvested plants for testing. For the ﬁ rst time, Wash- ington farmers will be able to get seeds without federal approval and produce hemp for CBD oil. The bill also eliminates a 4-mile buffer between hemp and mari- juana ﬁ elds that made much of Washington off-limits to hemp. Industrial Hemp Asso- ciation of Washington lob- byist Bonny Jo Peterson said she was elated with the outcome. “Under this bill, hemp will take off,” she said. “It is completely go time.” Washington state has 11 licensed hemp growers, compared to about 750 in Oregon. Washington was more cautious about get- ting ahead of federal law and also gave marijuana growers the right to dis- place hemp farmers to pre- vent cross-pollination. The Daily Astorian An Elsie woman was killed after driving into a power pole near milepost 7 on U.S. Highway 26 late Sunday evening. Around 10:45 p.m., ment of Agriculture proj- ects that licensing farmers, inspecting ﬁ elds and test- ing the THC levels in plants will cost $206,000 a year. Almost 90% of the money will go for personnel and administrative overhead. The department has not yet set fees to support the revamped program. A license to grow hemp costs $300 a year, plus a $450 application fee. The department reports that with so few grow- ers, the program is run- ning a deﬁ cit. To keep fees from soaring this year, the Legislature appropri- ated $212,000 to subsidize hemp oversight for one more year. WEDNESDAY THURSDAY 57 45 43 Clear to partly cloudy WARRENTON – About 800 people lost power Monday afternoon near Sunset Beach after a dump truck snagged a power line.

Elsie woman dead after crash on Highway 26 Hemp Northwest The state Department of Agriculture will replace a research program with a less-restrictive program authorized by the 2018 Farm Bill. Taking effect imme- diately, Senate Bill 5276 responds to a change in how the federal govern- ment classiﬁ es hemp. The 2014 Farm Bill allowed states to license hemp farmers and pro- cessors, but kept hemp on the list of federally con- trolled substances, restrict- ing interstate commerce and putting farmers at risk of running afoul of their bankers. The 2018 Farm Bill took hemp off the illicit drug list, though it still requires states to regulate hemp to keep it from becoming a cover crop for marijuana. Under the new rules, the Washington State Depart- nationwide injunction ﬁ led by a federal judge in the Northwest preventing the rules proposed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for Title X dollars from going into effect Friday.
