On February 4, 2021, Congress introduced another CBD deregulation bill, H.R. 841 – Hemp and Hemp-Derived CBD Consumer Protection and Market Stabilization Act of 2021, which, like H.R. 8179, legalizes marketing of hemp, CBD, or any other ingredient derived from hemp in a dietary supplement, provided the supplement satisfies other applicable requirements. Next, the bill goes to a House standing committee where experts will review, research, and revise the bill before voting on whether or not to send it to the House floor for a vote. Given that this bill was introduced early in the legislative cycle, observers are hopeful for movement under the current administration.
