Oregon Hemp Laws
Proposed Hemp Rules
The department proposes to adopt these rules to clarify existing hemp program rules, add additional options for hemp
growers including trimming under specific circumstances as well as market options like microgreens, and create
additional flexibility for those who miss the grower license application deadline. Additionally, the rules need to be
cleaned up to reflect sunset dates of several statutes.
