To amend the Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agency Appropriations Act, 2026, to delay the implementation of amendments made by such Act to the hemp production provisions of the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1946.

Summary

Extends the delayed effective date for recent hemp production changes from 365 days after enactment to three years after enactment. The bill does not change the substance of the hemp amendments themselves; it only postpones when those changes take effect, giving producers, regulators, and other stakeholders significantly more time to adjust.

• Replaces a 365-day delayed effective date with a three-year delayed effective date for recent hemp production amendments.
• Only changes timing; it does not alter the substantive hemp rules that were previously enacted.
• Takes effect on enactment by setting a new clock: the hemp amendments become effective three years after this bill becomes law.
• No new funding, programs, or regulatory text are added by this measure.
• Provides more time for farmers, processors, regulators, and businesses to prepare for the incoming hemp rules.
• Regulatory agencies and state programs will need to maintain the preexisting regime for a longer transition period.
