In case you missed it, President Trump signed a spending bill on November 12, 2025, that repealed Section 781 of the Continuing Appropriations, Agriculture, Legislative Branch, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Extensions Act.

Specifically, it redefines the legal thresholds for THC in hemp products which could render many legal hemp products (by today’s standard) to be illegal. While the law will not go into effect until November 12th of 2026, it could likely have an impact on your BSA/AML/CFT Program.
