Notwithstanding any 8 provision of law to the contrary, industrial hemp is an agricultural 9 product which may be grown, produced and possessed in the state as part 10 of an agricultural pilot program pursuant to authorization under federal 11 law and the provisions of this article. 12 Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary restricting the 13 growing or cultivating of industrial hemp, and subject to authorization 14 under federal law, the commissioner may authorize no more than up to ten 15 sites for the growing or cultivating of industrial hemp as part of an 16 agricultural pilot program conducted by the department and/or an insti- 17 tution of higher education to study the growth and cultivation of such 18 hemp provided that the sites used for growing or cultivating industrial 19 hemp are certified by, and registered with, the department. 20 § 507.
