Gov. Brad Little on Tuesday issued an executive order that temporarily legalized interstate transportation of industrial hemp through Idaho, as a stopgap until the Idaho Legislature can address the issue more permanently.
According to the executive order, hemp produced in accordance with the 2014 Farm Bill or 2018 Farm Bill will be temporarily allowed to travel through the state.
Under the 2014 Farm Bill, states were allowed to establish pilot programs for farmers to grow hemp in those states. Under the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp was no longer considered a controlled substance, so long as it contained .3 percent or less THC.
Little’s order does not legalize the possession or growth of hemp in Idaho. The order simply allows transportation of legal hemp across the state.
