She also distributed a packet of letters in support of the bill (Attachment G).

It also identifies entities that must be members of the study group including a hemp producer, a hemp processor, a legal expert, a person from a higher education institution who has studied hemp policy, a veterinarian, a livestock producer, and anyone else the commissioner determines would facilitate the understanding of including hemp products in animal feed.
