A permit or certificate of analysis terminates upon 10 the issuance of an order of disposal of the licensee’s crop 11 as provided in section 204.10 or upon the revocation of the 12 licensee’s hemp license as provided in section 204.11. 13 Sec. 13. Section 204.8, subsection 3, Code 2020, is amended 14 by striking the subsection and inserting in lieu thereof the 15 following: 16 3. The official test shall be a composite test of the 17 plants obtained by the department from a licensee’s crop 18 site during the annual inspection and shall be conducted by 19 a laboratory designated by the department. The sample must 20 have an acceptable delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration, 21 resulting from a post decarboxylation analysis, that does not 22 exceed three-tenths of one percent on a dry weight basis. 23 a. The laboratory shall report delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol 24 concentration on a dry weight basis that accounts for a 25 measurement uncertainty associated with the result of a 26 measurement. The measurement uncertainty shall characterize 27 the dispersion of the values that could be reasonably 28 attributed to the particular quantity subject to measurement. 29 The acceptable delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration 30 occurs when the application of the measurement uncertainty to 31 the reported delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration on a 32 dry weight basis produces a distribution or range that includes 33 three-tenths of one percent or less. 34 b. The post decarboxylation value is the result 35 -7- SF2380.3781 (1) 88 (amending this SF 2380 to CONFORM to HF 2581) da/ns 7/ 11
of an analysis determined after the process of 1 decarboxylation that determines the total potential 2 delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol content derived from the sum of 3 the delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration and delta-9 4 tetrahydrocannabinolic acid content and reported on a dry 5 weight basis. The post decarboxylation value may be determined 6 by using a chromatographic technique using heat and gas 7 chromatography, through which the tetrahydrocannabinolic 8 acid content is converted from its acid form to its neutral 9 form. The post decarboxylation value may also be calculated 10 by using a high-performance liquid chromatograph technique, 11 which keeps the tetrahydrocannabinolic acid intact and requires 12 a conversion calculation of that tetrahydrocannabinolic acid 13 to determine the total potential delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol 14 content in a given sample. 15 Sec. 14. Section 204.9, subsection 2, paragraph b, Code 16 2020, is amended to read as follows: 17 b. The department of public safety or a local law 18 enforcement agency may obtain a sample of plants that are part 19 of the crop and provide for a test of that sample as provided in 20 section 204.8 . The department of public safety or a local law 21 enforcement agency shall not impose, assess, or collect a fee 22 for conducting an inspection or test under this section . 23 Sec. 15. Section 204.10, subsection 1, Code 2020, is amended 24 to read as follows: 25 1. If a crop that is produced at a licensee’s crop site does 26 not qualify as hemp according to an official test conducted 27 pursuant to section 204.8 , but has a maximum concentration 28 not in excess of two percent delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol on 29 a dry weight basis, the department, in consultation with the 30 department of public safety, shall order the disposal of the 31 crop by destruction at the site or if necessary require the 32 crop to be removed to another location for destruction. 33 Sec. 16. Section 204.14, subsections 2 and 3, Code 2020, are 34 amended to read as follows: 35 -8- SF2380.3781 (1) 88 (amending this SF 2380 to CONFORM to HF 2581) da/ns 8/ 11

The person is required to hold a temporary harvest and 6 transportation permit to possess, harvest, or move hemp. 7 3. The person knowingly or intentionally does any of the 8 following: 9 a. Falsifies the temporary harvest and transportation permit 10 or certificate of crop inspection analysis . 11 b. Acquires the temporary harvest and transportation permit 12 or certificate of crop inspection analysis that the person 13 knows has been falsified. 14 Sec. 17. NEW SECTION . 204.14A Criminal offense —— 15 inhalation. 16 1. A person shall not possess, use, manufacture, market, 17 transport, deliver, or distribute harvested hemp or a hemp 18 product if the intended use of the harvested hemp or hemp 19 product is introduction into the body of a human by any method 20 of inhalation, including any of the following: 21 a. Smoke produced from combustion. 22 b. A type of article that uses a heating element, power 23 source, electronic circuit, or other electronic, chemical, or 24 mechanical process. 25 c. A device, including but not limited to a cigarette, 26 cigar, cigarillo, or pipe, regardless of whether such device 27 produces smoke or vapor. 28 2. A person who violates subsection 1 is guilty of a serious 29 misdemeanor. 30 3. This section does not apply to the extent that federal 31 law, including the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, 32 authorizes as its intended use the introduction of harvested 33 hemp or a hemp product into the body of a human by a method of 34 inhalation. 35 -9- SF2380.3781 (1) 88 (amending this SF 2380 to CONFORM to HF 2581) da/ns 9/ 11
