Such institutions of higher education or State departments of agriculture simply need to first become registered with the DEA as an importer or as a researcher and, second, obtain an import permit authorizing the shipment of seeds. The process is not burdensome. Within the last 10 days, the DEA registered two State departments of agriculture in Colorado and Kentucky to import industrial hemp seeds and issued an import permit to the Kentucky department of agriculture.

I'm here to advocate on behalf of people who are concerned about abuses of the Fourth Amendment.
The fact of the matter is this Committee has jurisdiction over this narrower focus regarding protecting the Fourth Amendment.
Government agencies are asserting they can flout the Fourth Amendment's requirement for a probable cause warrant by simply buying our personal data.
I think a great first step would be to pass the Fourth Amendment's Not For Sale Act that's been introduced by Chair Nadler.
