Description of Proposed Guidance Document Changes

The proposed amendments to the Virginia Industrial Hemp Extract Intended for Human Consumption Law Civil Penalty Matrix will direct the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ determination of civil penalties for certain violations of Article 4 (§§ 3.2-4122 through 3.2-4126) of the Industrial Hemp Law, which pertains to regulated hemp products (“Regulated Hemp Products Law”). In accordance with the second enactment of Chapters 744 and 794 of the 2023 Acts of Assembly, this article became effective on November 15, 2024. The Regulated Hemp Products Law authorizes the Commissioner to assess a civil penalty not to exceed $10,000 for each day violations of the article, including failure to obtain a regulated hemp product retail facility registration, occur.
