The bill amends Section 500.92 of the Florida Statutes, establishing the "Florida Kratom Consumer Protection Act." It introduces new definitions related to kratom products, including terms such as "attractive to children," "finished kratom product," and "kratom beverage." The bill sets forth specific requirements for the sale of kratom products in various establishments, mandating that processors hold a permit, submit a certificate of analysis from an accredited laboratory, and adhere to strict labeling and safety standards. Notably, it prohibits the sale of kratom products that are attractive to children and requires that they not be mixed with psychoactive substances.

Additionally, the bill outlines penalties for non-compliance, including the revocation of permits for processors who fail to report adverse health events or do not pay for independent testing when required. It also includes provisions for the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to issue stop-sale orders for non-compliant products. The bill appropriates funds for its implementation and is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
