NY State Sets Up Hemp Framework
New York State now has a regulatory framework for the production and sale of hemp and hemp extract, but the legislation didn’t make provisions for its use in food or beverages. According to Governor Cuomo's Office, there is now a state permitting process for growers, processors and sellers of hemp and hemp extract and requirements for laboratory testing and labeling of hemp extract products. Hemp extracts also known as CBD are popular in a number of products including pain relievers.
