Missouri schools will be required to outline prohibited antisemitic behavior in their codes of conduct.

New state law preempts a federal ban set to take effect in November.

The bill was one of four signed into law. One adopts a new definition for antisemitism, including new penalties at colleges.

The Missouri Hemp Trade Association called on Gov. Mike Kehoe to veto a bill that would pull intoxicating hemp products from convenience stores, bars and restaurants statewide.

The legislation classifies intoxicating hemp products as marijuana and requires them to be regulated as such.

A federal policy “loophole” that allowed hemp products to hit the market is set to close in November.

Under the rule, many small businesses such as CBD stores, health and wellness retailers and boutiques would not be allowed to sell hemp products.

Missouri lawmakers could soon make intoxicating hemp products illegal.

Officials working on the Missouri Hemp Hoax Report sent 55 products bought at smoke shops, gas stations and other retailers for testing.

Senate members disagree on the effect of this provision and some worry about its effect on the industry.
