It’s ‘go time’ for Washington Oregon judge issues nationwide

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

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.

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.

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.
McShane noted in his
32-page ruling that “scores”
of declarations from pub-
lic health experts and medi-
cal professionals “lead to the
inescapable conclusion” that
