This bill proposes several updates to the current statutes regarding kratom in Arizona. It introduces new definitions, such as defining "Kratom" as the plant mitragyna speciosa and revising the definition of "Kratom product" to specify that it must be ingestible or inhalable. The bill also repeals section 36-795.01 and mandates that all kratom products sold in the state must include specific labeling information, including ingredients, quantities of active compounds, recommended serving sizes, and the number of servings per product.
Additionally, the bill modifies existing prohibitions on the sale of kratom products. It removes certain outdated language and clarifies that no person may sell kratom products containing synthetic alkaloids or exceeding specified levels of 7-hydroxymitragynine. The age restriction for purchasing kratom products is raised from eighteen to twenty-one years. Violations of these provisions would result in misdemeanor charges, with specific penalties outlined for different infractions. Overall, the bill aims to enhance consumer safety and regulation of kratom products in Arizona.
