Let us pray. Lord, help us to use the gifts You give for the good of our community, Sate, and Nation. Bless each of Your people who give of their talents given by You for the people they serve. Be their guide as they move through the day in their appointed task. Bless our defenders of freedom and first resonders as they care and protect us. Grant Your favor upon our Nation, President, State, Governor, Speaker, staff, and all who use their talents given by You, O Lord. Heal the wounds, those seen and those hidden, of our brave warriors who suffer and sacrifice for our freedom. Lord, in Your mercy, hear our prayers. Amen.

(1) promote the cultivation and processing of hemp and to open new commercial markets for farmers and businesses through the sale of hemp products;
(2) promote the expansion of this State's hemp industry to the maximum extent permitted by law, allowing farmers and businesses to cultivate, handle, and process industrial hemp and sell industrial hemp products for commercial purposes; (3) encourage and empower research into hemp growth and hemp products at state institutions of higher education and in the private sector; and
(4) move this state and its citizens to the forefront of the hemp industry.
Section 46-56-30. As used in this chapter:

(4) 'Cultivating' means planting, watering, growing, and harvesting a plant or crop.
(5) 'Department' means the South Carolina Department of Agriculture.

(7) 'Handling' means possessing or storing hemp for any period of time. Handling includes possessing or storing hemp in a vehicle for any period of time other than during its actual transport from the premises of a licensed person to cultivate or process industrial hemp to the premises of another licensed person.

(8) 'Hemp' means the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of that plant, including the non-sterilized seeds thereof and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, whether growing or not, with the federally defined THC level for hemp. Hemp is considered an agricultural commodity. The term also includes all industrial grown hemp and hemp products.
(9) 'Hemp products' means all products with the federally defined THC level for hemp derived from, or made by, processing hemp plants or hemp plant parts, that are prepared in a form available for commercial sale, including, but not limited to cosmetics, personal care products, food intended for animal or human consumption, cloth, cordage, fiber, fuel, paint, paper, particleboard, plastics, and any product containing one or more hemp-derived cannabinoids, such as cannabidiol.

The department, its licensees, the licensees' agents, and affiliated universities may cultivate, handle, and process hemp in this State and may transport hemp within and outside of this State.
(2) It is lawful to possess, transport, sell, and purchase legally produced hemp products in this State. Nothing in this chapter authorizes a person to violate a federal or state law or regulation.
(B) A person only may cultivate, handle, or process hemp in this State with a hemp license issued by the department under the state plan. A person seeking to cultivate hemp:

(4) undergo a state criminal records check, supported by fingerprints, by SLED and a national criminal records check, supported by fingerprints, by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The results of these records checks must be reported to the department. SLED is authorized to retain the fingerprints for certification purposes and for notification of the department regarding criminal charges. No person who has been convicted of a felony, a drug-related misdemeanor, or drug related violation in the ten years prior to the submission of the application is eligible to obtain a license.
(C)(1) A licensee is required to conduct a corrective action plan if the commissioner determines that the licensee has negligently violated applicable state laws, regulations, or the state plan by:
(a) failing to provide a legal description and global positioning coordinates of land on which hemp is cultivated;
(b) failing to obtain a proper license or other required authorization from the commissioner; or
(c) producing Cannabis sativa L. with more than the federally defined THC level for hemp.
(2) A corrective action plan should include a:
(a) reasonable date by which the licensee must correct the violation; and
(b) requirement that the licensee periodically report to the commissioner on the compliance of the hemp producer with the provisions of this chapter and the state plan for a period of not less than the next two calendar years.
(3) A licensee that negligently violates state laws or regulations may not be subject to criminal or civil liability other than the enforcement action provided in this section.
(4) A licensee that negligently violates the state plan three times within a five-year period is ineligible to produce hemp for a period of five years beginning on the date of the third violation.
(5) If the commissioner determines that a licensee violated a state law with a culpable mental state greater than negligence, the commissioner must immediately report the hemp producer to the United States Attorney General and the South Carolina Attorney General.
Section 46-56-50. The department may charge a reasonable application fee, license fee, and renewal of license fee that must be remitted to administer the South Carolina Hemp Program. Licensing fees for: (1) hemp growers and handlers may not exceed one thousand dollars each year per registrant; and
(2) processors may not exceed the cost calculated by the department to cover the costs incurred under the processor licensing program.
Section 46-56-60. (A) Within sixty days of the effective date of this chapter, the commissioner shall submit a state plan to the Secretary of the United States Department of Agriculture regulating hemp production in South Carolina. The plan shall include a:
(1) practice to maintain relevant information relating to land on which hemp is produced including a legal description of the land for a period of no less than three years;
(2) procedure for testing delta-9 THC concentration levels on hemp produced in this State using post-decarboxylation or a similarly reliable method;
(3) procedure for the effective disposal of products that are in violation of this chapter; and
(4) procedure to comply with the enforcement of this chapter.
(B) If the secretary disapproves the state plan, the commissioner, in consultation with the Governor and Attorney General, shall submit an amended state plan.
Section 46-56-70. The South Carolina Hemp Program does not apply to the possession, handling, transport, or sale of hemp products and extracts, including those containing hemp-derived cannabinoids such as CBD.
Section 46-56-80. A person who manufactures, distributes, dispenses, delivers, purchases, aids, abets, attempts, or conspires to manufacture, distribute, dispense, deliver, or purchase, or possesses with the intent to manufacture, distribute, dispense, deliver, or purchase marijuana, in a manner intended to disguise the marijuana due to its proximity to industrial hemp, is guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, must be imprisoned not more than three years or fined not more than three thousand dollars, or both.
