Congressman says hemp provision could complicate expected continuing-resolution vote
Summary
Asked about an expected continuing-resolution vote, the congressman said the hemp provision is a concern that may affect the measure's final passage and that he had not yet seen all the details.
Asked where he stood on an expected continuing-resolution (CR) vote later in the week, the congressman said the legislative body "has a right to vote" on rules but that final passage of the CR could be complicated by a hemp provision. He described the hemp language as "one of" the issues that would need addressing before final passage.
The congressman said he had just arrived in town and had not seen all of the CR's details. "They're gonna have to deal with the hemp issue," he said, and noted he had received texts about other changes but had not reviewed them. He framed his response as procedural—the rule could be voted on, but the final bill's passage depends on resolving outstanding provisions.
