The draft legislation includes key provisions such as:

• Packaging and labeling requirements
• Manufacturing and testing standards
• Facility registration

"One Hemp is deeply grateful to Representative Griffith for his leadership in releasing this draft bill," said Bill Morachnick, CEO of Charlotte's Web Inc (TSX: CWEB, OTCQX: CWBHF) and One Hemp member. "This is a much-needed step toward cleaning up the hemp industry and ensuring consumers have access to safe, high-quality products. We believe balanced regulation is essential to unlock the full economic and public health potential of hemp."
