A Georgia hemp processor surety bond will be required. Per and directly from the Georgia Department of Agriculture, &#8220;Hemp is defined as the Cannabis sativa L. plant and any part of the plant, including the seeds and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of 56 isomers, whether growing or not, with the federally defined THC concentration no more than 0.3 percent.\u00a0The production and sale of hemp and hemp products is legal under the Georgia Hemp Farming Act\u00a0however only\u00a0growers licensed by the Georgia Department of Agriculture (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.agr.georgia.gov\/industrial-hemp-production.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GDA<\/a>) are permitted to grow and process hemp.\u00a0The GDA\u2019s process of drafting rules and regulations has begun. Drafted rules will be open for a public comment period and then final revision before the GDA can begin issuing grower licenses and processing permits.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pursuant to section <a href=\"http:\/\/www.legis.ga.gov\/Legislation\/20192020\/187562.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(b)<\/a> of the licensing statute, &#8220;(b) Any person applying for a hemp processor permit pursuant to this Code section shall\u00a0provide to the department a\u00a0surety bond in the amount of $100,000.00 issued by a surety company authorized\u00a0by law to do business in\u00a0Georgia .
