Ms. KLOBUCHAR. Mr. President, I rise today to discuss my concerns regarding the hemp provisions in this bill. I voted against the motion to table Paul amendment No. 3941. I strongly support protecting kids and ensuring they do not have access to harmful products. The provisions in the funding bill, however, did not strike the right balance and would have put small businesses and jobs in my State at risk. I believe efforts by Congress to regulate hemp products should account for States like Minnesota that already have strong regulations in place rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Moving forward, we should protect our kids and support our small businesses.
