A06435 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A6435
 
SPONSOR: Lupardo
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the agriculture and markets law, in relation to allowing certain commercial feed to include hemp seed   PURPOSE: The purpose of this legislation is to allow for the inclusion of seeds including seed hulls and seed meal from industrial hemp plants in commercial feed solely for pets, specialty pets, horses, and camelids. This legislation would not authorize such inclusion in commercial feed for other livestock.   SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1: Amends subdivision 7 of section 128 of the agriculture and markets law to provide for the inclusion of hemp seed, including seed hulls and seed meal, for use in feed for a pet, specialty pet, horse, or camelid. Section 2: Establishes the effective date.   JUSTIFICATION: Industrial hemp produces a wide range of useful materials, including building materials, fibers that can be woven into clothing, chaff for animal bedding, and seeds that are available on grocery store shelves in items like granola, snack bars, and cookies. Industrial hemp is feder- ally approved for each of these uses. This bill would authorize the use of hemp seeds for certain types of animal feed in New York. Industrial hemp differs from hemp grown for cannabinoid extraction. CBD and THC occur in the flower of cannabinoid hemp, and this flower is neither produced nor harvested from industrial hemp crop. Only the seeds of the industrial hemp plant, including shell casings and seed meal resulting from processing hemp hearts for human consumption, would be authorized for use in animal feed. Studies indicate that industrial hemp seed provides a high protein, high fiber ingredient for animal consump- tion. Other states, including Montana and Pennsylvania, have already passed similar legislation. Industrial hemp farmers from across the State, along with the National Hemp Association, support this approach as an industry-sustaining meas- ure. Protecting industrial hemp production in New York will encourage greater production and research into the myriad uses of this plant, including as a renewable building material. It will also open the door for small, New York-based animal food processors to establish this marketplace before hemp seeds are authorized for use in commercial feed nationally.   LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: This is new legislation.   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: This legislation could result in increased tax revenue due to increased sales of New York hemp seed product and commercial feed.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.

        AN ACT to amend the agriculture and markets law, in relation to allowing
          certain commercial feed to include hemp seed
 
          The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and  Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:

     1    Section  1.    Subdivision  7  of  section  128 of the agriculture and
     2  markets law, as added by chapter 816 of the laws of 1974, is amended  to
     3  read as follows:
     4    7. "Commercial feed" means all materials except unmixed whole seeds or
     5  physically altered entire unmixed seeds, when not adulterated within the
     6  meaning  of  subdivision  one  of section one hundred thirty-two of this
     7  article, which are distributed for use as feed or for  mixing  in  feed,
     8  and  includes  pet  food  and specialty pet food. Provided, however, the
     9  commissioner by regulation may exempt  from  this  definition,  or  from
    10  specific  provisions  of  this  article, commodities such as hay, straw,
    11  stover, silage, cobs, husks, hulls, and individual chemical compounds or
    12  substances when  such  commodities,  compounds  or  substances  are  not
    13  inter-mixed or mixed with other materials, and are not adulterated with-
    14  in  the  meaning of subdivision one of section one hundred thirty-two of
    15  this article.  Provided  further,  however,  that  commercial  feed  may
    16  include  the addition of hemp seed or hemp seed products for use as feed
    17  or for mixing in feed for a pet, specialty pet, horse, or  camelid.  The
    18  term  "hemp"  shall  have  the  same  meaning as defined in section five
    19  hundred five of this chapter.
    20    § 2.  This act shall take effect immediately.
