CBD Flower USA Coverages Controversy Over The Hemp Stop Gap Bill

North Las Vegas, Nevada - December 14, 2020 - CBD Flower USA provides feedback on the H.R.8337 Hemp Stop Gap Budget Bill that aims to extend funding and allows hemp farmers more time to comply with new USDA demands. The Bill was signed by President Donald Trump on October 1, 2020. The new legislation took effect on November 1, 2020, and will continue through September 2021. However, not all farmers are happy. This extension has created a divide between states that have already complied with the 2018 Hemp laws, and those who have not yet received approval for their hemp program through the USDA.

What Is The H.R.8337 Hemp Stop Gap Budget Bill?

In the 2018 Farm Bill, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) was appointed to work with each state and Indian Tribe on hemp growing licenses for commercial purposes. For this to occur each state would need to submit hemp cultivation plans to the USDA for approval. The USDA could then approve or request revisions.

Under the 2018 Farm Bill, states and Indian Tribes had until October 31, 2020, to submit their plans for approval or revision. With the World-Wide Pandemic, lawmakers realized that not all states were going to be able to meet the initial deadline for these requirements to be in place.

 

CBD Flower suggested that "This extension will allow states more time to get up to speed with the new regulations that the USDA has put into place for hemp. Without this extension, many states may be left in the dark as they are not fully up to speed with the new regulations that are being put into motion."

So, the Hemp Stop-Gap Bill was introduced as a solution. While some states have already gained approval for their commercial hemp programs, there are a lot of states who are still in the process of working with the USDA.

This bill extended the deadline to September 2021 and allowed hemp growers to continue under the regulations of the 2018 Farm Bill. It also extended funding for the Hemp Pilot Program. While this may seem like a good solution for everyone, it was not well received by some.

The Divide

While the extension was welcomed by many states and hemp growers, some farmers were upset. States who have gain approval from the USDA will now be subjected to farm under the new stricter laws. This affords those states that have not adopted these laws yet a better chance to sell their hemp in the coming year. They will have softer restrictions to comply with.

The USDA was very strict in the outlines for the new hemp program. This means farmers may fall short of new regulations. States that do not have approved plans are hoping that the kinks in the new Hemp program are worked out before they are required to comply with the new laws.

 

CBD Flower further states, "The extension of the pilot program provided an answer that many industry leaders and lawmakers were seeking, as hemp growers needed time to adjust to the USDA's interim final rule (IFR) on hemp."

There is still some uncertainty about the commercial hemp industry and regulations for cultivation. States that have not gained approval for their hemp programs will have one more year to seek a resolution before they are required to comply with the stricter guidelines. For now, those states that have approval will be operating at a disadvantage.

BTI Launches Banking and Commercial Real Estate Division

Hanover, MA, December 10, 2020 -- Brookline Transportation, Inc. (BTI), a Mayflower Van Lines agent specializing in commercial, lab, medical, science and residential moves, recently started a banking and commercial real estate division to its arsenal of commercial moving offerings. The new division will have staff and resources specific to those two industries.

“The reality of the pandemic has put some new realities before banks and commercial real estate professionals. Banks will most likely find themselves in the unenviable position on foreclosing on businesses, with commercial real estate facing the same with tenants,” said George Rohlfing, owner of the family-owned and operated BTI. “Commercial real estate professionals will also be faced with tenants who will either need to retrofit their existing space or downsize to a smaller space as more workers work from home.”

Said Rohlfing, “With our new division, we can offer banks and commercial real estate property owners a variety of services to fit the needs of any number of scenarios.”

BTI offers decommissioning services for businesses with workstations, furniture and other items no longer needed for a downsizing or foreclosed business. BTI’s decommissioning services include contacting a network of non-profits to find a suitable donor/recipient. In some cases, this type of donation is tax deductible.

BTI’s decommissioning services also include the coordination and pickup of computers and other pieces of hardware, software and electronics. This includes coordination and issuance of certificates of destruction for each piece where needed.

For foreclosures, BTI provides storage options for items awaiting auction. Similarly, storage is also available for downsizing tenants or those undergoing a retrofit of their present space.

In addition to its services for commercial real estate and bank clients, BTI offers a wide range of relocations services for residential and commercial customers. For complete information on BTI’s relocation services, please visit https://www.usamover.com/ or call 800-766-7724.

About Brookline Transportation, Inc. (BTI)
Since its founding in 1943, BTI has coordinated and executed thousands of commercial and residential moves throughout the greater Boston area to Cape Cod. A Mayflower franchise, BTI has the capability to conduct international and cross country relocations.

SGS Warns Californian Businesses About Recent Prop 65 60 Day Notices on Electronic Device Cases

SGS warns Californian businesses about thirteen California Proposition 65 (Prop 65) 60-day notices of violation that have been issued against manufacturers and suppliers of electronic device cases. The 60-day notices of violation relate to a failure to provide a ‘clear and reasonable warning’ about possible consumer exposure to Bisphenol A (BPA).

 

A 60-day notice of violation is a legal document that is served to a business that has allegedly violated the warning requirements in Prop 65. The thirteen 60-day notice of violation issued in October 2020 relate to a wide variety of products, including:

  • Mobile/cell phone cases
  • Earbud cases
  • Tablet cases
  • Notebook computer cases
  • Game console cases

Prop 65, or the ‘Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986’, is a unique piece of legislation passed in November 1986. It requires the state to maintain a list of chemicals (Prop 65 List) known to cause cancer, birth defects and/or reproductive harm. Unless exempted, businesses operating in California must provide ‘a clear and reasonable warning’ (Prop 65 Warning) before knowingly and intentionally exposing anyone to a substance on the Prop 65 List, which now contains around 900 chemicals. Companies have twelve months to comply with this requirement once a substance is included in the Prop 65 List.

BPA is a chemical known to cause female reproductive toxicity. It has been included on the Prop 65 List since May 2015 and, since May 2016, it has been the cause of multiple settlement agreements involving a wide variety of consumer products – thermal paper, food contact materials and articles, cell phone cases, etc. The agreements bind only the named parties to a reformulation of no more than 3 ppm for BPA, with a warning as an alternative.

When a business is issued with a Prop 65 60-day notice of violation, it normally results in a settlement negotiation between the two parties. This is not legally binding on businesses not named in the settlement but can act as a guide to help them avoid future legal problems.
