The state acknowledges that federally recognized Indian nations, tribes and pueblos located wholly or partially within New Mexico may, pursuant to Section 10113 of the federal Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, and as a matter of their inherent tribal sovereignty, develop their own plans for the regulation of the production of hemp on their own tribal lands, and that those plans shall be developed in compliance with the federal Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018.

The New Mexico department of agriculture and the department of environment may enter into cooperative agreements or joint powers agreements with federally recognized Indian nations, tribes and pueblos located wholly or partially within New Mexico that seek the state's assistance in developing hemp production plans that are acceptable to the director of the New Mexico department of agriculture and the department of environment, or in the regulation of hemp production on tribal lands, or in the testing of hemp plants for THC, or the transportation of hemp or hemp-derived material; provided that no such agreement shall purport to give the state any jurisdiction over any such activities or material on tribal lands.
