The Virginia Industrial Hemp Law provides that it is lawful for a dealer or his agent to deal industrial
hemp in the Commonwealth for any lawful purpose and that no dealer or his agent shall be prosecuted
under § 18.2-247, 18.2-248, 18.2-248.01, 18.2-248.1, 18.2-250, or 18.2-250.1 for the possession or
dealing of industrial hemp. Please provide the names of the individuals you expect will be your agents
for the purpose of dealing hemp under the Virginia Industrial Hemp Law at the dealership(s) listed in
this application.
Full Name of Potential Agents
NOTE: Registered dealers may wish to provide the “Agent Documentation” form available on the
VDACS website to each person they intend to serve as their agent for the limited purpose of dealing
industrial hemp. You do not need to submit this form to VDACS.
Section 3.2-4115(D) of the Virginia Industrial Hemp Law provides that “[a]ll records data, and
information filed in support of a registration application submitted pursuant to this section shall be
considered proprietary and excluded from the provisions of the Virginia Freedom of Information Act
(§ 2.2-3700 et seq.).”
