The Illinois Industrial Hemp Act, House Bill 1383, was voted down on March 31, 2011. The bill would have allowed farmers in Illinois to grow hemp once and would define hemp as being varieties of the cannabis genus whose THC content is below 0.3% For a list of how each State Representative voted click this link http://ilga.gov/legislation/votehistory/97/house/09700HB1383_03312011_010000T.pdf
Please contact your State Representative and tell them how you feel about their vote on House Bill 1383, the Industrial Hemp Act. To read the full text of the bill go to this link or go to the Illinois General Assembly website, http://www.ilga.gov and search for HB 1383. A resolution calling on the federal government to distinguish between hemp and pyschoactive cannabis in their definition of cannabis, House Resolution 271, also failed by a vote of 91 against and 21 in favor.
