In a little noticed move, a Wisconsin State Assembly Bill that proposes to create a committee to study the uses of industrial hemp was introduced April 14, 2009. The bill mirrors a proposal from from the 2007-2008 session with truly bipartisan support that had a committee hearing and unanimous committee vote, but never reached the Assembly floor for a vote under then-GOP speaker Mike Huebsch click here.
