Senate Agriculture committee chairman Paul Hornback, himself a farmer, is the sponsor of the SB50. The bill doesn't legalize hemp in Kentucky, since it's currently outlawed by the federal government, but it sets up a regulatory framework in case Congress legalizes it or Kentucky is granted a federal waiver to grow it. Hornback argues that hemp is a crop worth trying.
