Trussville Council Rethinks Hemp Regulations

0:00What's up Birmingham, this is Birmingham News today, bringing you the city's fastest updates on what is happening now. The Trustfield City Council talked about regulating hemp products at their meeting Tuesday night. They had planned a temporary halt on new hemp stores, but ended up pulling that idea from the agenda. City leaders wanted time to check local rules before allowing more shops. Hemp businesses need a special commercial retail zoning that Trustfield does not offer right now. Local members learned the three existing hemp stores in town were approved before, but do not meet current zoning standards. This surprise finding shifted their focus. No one pushed hard for the moratorium after that. Officials worry about enforcement gaps in the rules. Now the council plans more research on hemp regulations before deciding on any changes or new limits. Support for this DNN episode comes from our sponsor.
