Have there been subsequent legislative or regulatory changes reversing or modifying the reclassification since it took effect?

1. What Congress and the Administration did: a one-year clock on hemp rules

Congress included restrictive hemp definitions in the Agricultural Appropriations Bill that became law on November 12, 2025; that law redefines “hemp” to exclude products containing synthetic or manufactured cannabinoids and moves many hemp-derived THC products into Schedule I marijuana treatment, with the statutory effective date set for November 12, 2026 ^[1]. Vicente LLP’s analysis summarizes the law’s practical consequences: products exceeding the new thresholds would be treated as federally illegal cannabis products, subject to state cannabis rules, interstate-commerce restrictions and adverse IRS tax treatment under Section 280E ^[1].

2. Evidence (and limits of evidence) about subsequent changes

Search results provided here include no documents showing a later congressional statute, an agency final rule, or other official action that reversed or modified the hemp reclassification after the November 12, 2025 enactment (available sources do not mention a later reversal). The Vicente LLP explainer treats the statutory language as the current governing text and discusses its expected implementation date and impacts ^[1]. No other result in this collection says Congress or an agency amended, delayed, or rescinded the new hemp language (available sources do not mention a reversal).

3. What proponents and opponents said at passage — signals of future fights

Reporting in these sources notes attempts to strip the restrictive language during floor debate: Sen. Rand Paul proposed an amendment to remove the hemp restrictions but failed to win sufficient support as lawmakers prioritized reopening the government and passing the bill ^[1]. That vote pattern shows the restriction survived despite organized resistance, which is why legal observers expect continued political and industry pushback between enactment and the effective date ^[1].

4. What to watch between enactment and the effective date

The law gives roughly a one-year window before the effective date (November 12, 2026) for litigation, congressional amendment, or administrative guidance; Vicente LLP highlights implementation risks and industry consequences and thus implies stakeholders will pursue legislative or judicial strategies once the law is active ^[1]. None of the supplied items report any agency rulemaking altering the statutory timeline or definitions before the effective date (available sources do not mention regulatory modification) ^[1].

5. Where the record is silent — other reclassification stories in the results

The search results include many unrelated “reclassification” items — state athletic alignments, education reclassification guidance, ARIN membership status changes, and FDA device reclassification procedures — but none of those sources document any modification to the federal hemp language after November 12, 2025 ^{[2] [3] [4] [5] [6]}. Those items are useful to show the breadth of “reclassification” topics but do not bear on whether Congress or regulators reversed the hemp reclassification (available sources do not mention a reversal in those items).

6. Bottom line and recommended next steps for readers

Based on the materials provided here, the hemp reclassification enacted November 12, 2025 remains scheduled to take effect November 12, 2026 and there is no documented later legislative or regulatory reversal in these sources ^[1]. Readers tracking this should monitor: Congressional floor activity and appropriations or standalone bills that could amend the Agriculture Appropriations language; Department of Justice or DEA guidance and enforcement statements about synthetic cannabinoids; and litigation filings seeking to enjoin or interpret the statute — none of which are reported in the current source set (available sources do not mention subsequent litigation, amendments, or agency changes) ^[1].
