Gov. Tony Evers sent a letter to Wisconsin’s Congressional delegation urging immediate legislative action to revise the new federal hemp law. The new law banned the sale of most hemp products in the U.S. starting in November 2026.
It was passed as part of the plan to reopen the federal government last year. According to the governor’s office, the new federal hemp law is projected to jeopardize $700 million in economic impact and nearly 3,500 jobs in Wisconsin, as well as the growing sector of hemp businesses and producers across the state.
