Senate Bill 17-090 is a Colorado law that sets standards for measuring THC levels in industrial hemp. It requires agricultural officials to test both the active form of THC and its inactive precursor (THCA) when determining if hemp meets legal limits. This affects farmers who grow industrial hemp, ensuring their crops comply with regulations regarding THC content. Since the bill has been signed into law, it is now enforceable and sets new guidelines for testing hemp in Colorado.
