The Nebraska Healthy Alternatives Association is the preeminent trade organization for the hemp-derived healthy alternatives industry in Nebraska. We are comprised of retailers, manufacturers, distributors, and friends of the industry. We work tirelessly to protect the interests of our members and fight for the rights of Nebraskans. Our members are held to the highest standards, and we are committed to providing our community with safe, healthy, and affordable alternatives.
Members of the Nebraska legislature are considering a total ban on all hemp products in Nebraska, through LB316, regardless of if they’re federally approved. Prohibiting hemp products strips our guests’ access to lab-tested products, leading many back to an unregulated, unsafe, and untaxed black market to find what they’re looking for.
LB 16, as a more sensible and constituent-supported option, provides a reasonable regulatory framework for consumable hemp products, as well as a wholesale tax that pays for enforcement and contributes to the state’s general fund. This is a far better alternative for the industry and for the state of Nebraska.
As of April 1, 2025, the bill has been made a priority bill by Sen. Jared Storm, but the bill is still in committee. This means that next week, the bill will likely find its way into the floor for a vote.
We encourage you to stay engaged and join us in advocating for responsible regulation. Your voice matters, and together, we can work towards a future where innovation and consumer choice are respected. The best way to do that is to reach out to your senators and make your thoughts, concerns, and issues known!
