Kan. Admin. Regs. § 4-34-19 - Post-harvest inspection; sample collection; testing and post-testing actions
(a) Each licensee
shall allow the department to inspect and sample industrial hemp plants, plant
parts, grain, or seeds any time after the industrial hemp plants, plant parts,
grain, or seeds have been harvested. The initial post-harvest sample shall not
require an additional sampling fee or testing fee.
(b) A licensee, whether present or not, shall
permit representatives of the department complete, unrestricted, and immediate
access to all industrial hemp plants, plant parts, grain, and seeds and all
locations, buildings, and motor vehicles listed on the license. Access shall be
granted at reasonable times, without interference or obstruction, with or
without cause, and with or without advance notice.
(c) Any primary licensee may request
collection of a sample from each research area listed on the license. Each
sample collected shall be subject to the sampling and testing fees required by
K.A.R. 4-34-12.
(d) Based on the
results of the testing, one of the following shall apply:
(1) A sample containing a delta-9
tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of 0.3 percent or less on a dry-weight basis
shall result in the issuance of a passing report of analysis and shall list
each research area from which the sample was taken. Each passing report of
analysis shall identify the harvest certificate or bill of lading that
accompanied the industrial hemp plants, plant parts, grain, or seeds
sampled.
(2) A sample containing a
delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of higher than 0.3 percent on a
dry-weight basis shall result in the issuance of a failing report of analysis
and shall list each research area from which the sample was taken.
(A) Within seven days of issuance of a
failing report of analysis, the primary licensee may request that the
department either collect a subsequent post-harvest sample or destroy all
plants, plant parts, grain, or seeds located in each research area that was
sampled and identified on the failing report of analysis.
(B) A subsequent post-harvest sample
requested by the primary licensee and found to contain a delta-9
tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of higher than 0.3 percent on a dry-weight
basis shall result in the issuance of a failing report of analysis. Within
seven days of issuance of the failing report of analysis, a licensee listed on
the primary licensee's research license application licensee shall destroy all
plants, plant parts, grain, or seeds that are located in each research area
that was sampled and identified in the failing report of analysis.
(C) If any sample is found to contain a
delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of higher than 0.3 percent on a
dry-weight basis, the testing results and the location of each sampled research
area may be referred to the Kansas bureau of investigation and other
appropriate law enforcement agencies for further investigation.
(D) If any sample is found to contain a
delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of 2.0 percent or higher on a
dry-weight basis, the testing results and the location of each sampled research
area shall be referred to the Kansas bureau of investigation and other
appropriate law enforcement agencies for further investigation.
(e) After the collection
of a sample, no licensee shall handle, condition, distribute, transport, or
process the sampled industrial hemp plants, plant parts, grain, or seeds until
the primary licensee is issued a passing report of analysis. The sampled
industrial hemp plants, plant parts, grain, or seeds shall not be processed,
exchanged for value, or otherwise allowed to come into the possession of anyone
other than a licensee listed on the primary licensee's research license
application until a passing report of analysis is issued.
(f) Destruction of industrial hemp plants,
plant parts, grain, or seeds shall occur by a licensee listed on the primary
licensee's research license application at the primary licensee's expense. All
volunteer plants shall be destroyed during the current license year and for at
least three years after the last reported date of planting. Each licensee shall
allow representatives of the department or law enforcement to be present during
the destruction of industrial hemp plants, plant parts, grain, or seeds, or
proof of the destruction may be required by the department. If the destruction
of industrial hemp plants, plant parts, grain, or seeds occurs, the primary
licensee shall not be eligible for a refund of any fees paid.
(g) All samples collected by the department
shall become the property of the department, and no compensation shall be owed
to the licensee.
