The proposed bill would update current statutes by introducing new regulations and definitions concerning kratom products. It would add to the statutory list of narcotic drugs any material, compound, mixture, or preparation containing at least 800 ppm of 7-hydroxymytragynine or any quantity of synthetic derivatives of the plant mitragyna speciosa. Additionally, the bill would prohibit the sale of kratom products to individuals under 21 years old, raising the age limit from 18 to 21, with violations classified as a class 1 misdemeanor for the first offense and a class 6 felony for subsequent offenses. Moreover, the bill would repeal existing statutes related to kratom product disclosure and mandate that all kratom products include a label or QR code detailing the ingredients, quantity of mitragynine or 7-hydroxymytragynine, recommended serving size, and number of servings. It would also prohibit misleading packaging, advertising to individuals under 21, and untrue health-related claims. Enforcement of these new regulations would be assigned to the Attorney General, with violators given 14 days to comply after notification from the Department of Health Services or the AG.
