Sacramento — California lawmakers narrowly passed a bill Monday that would allow California’s farmers to tap into the $270 million hemp industry by providing the raw materials used to create hemp products.

The bill, AB1147, is a bipartisan effort by Assemblyman Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, and Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, R-Irvine ( Orange County ), that would allow California’s farmers to produce hemp oil, seed and fiber — the raw materials that are used in hemp products.
