The proposed bill, known as the Kratom Consumer Protection Act, aims to regulate the preparation, distribution, and sale of kratom products in Kansas. It defines key terms related to kratom, including "kratom extract" and "kratom product," and establishes strict guidelines to ensure that these products are not adulterated or contaminated with dangerous non-kratom substances. Specifically, processors are prohibited from selling kratom products that contain harmful ingredients, exceed allowable levels of residual solvents, or lack proper labeling that includes safety warnings and usage directions. Additionally, the bill mandates that kratom products cannot be sold to individuals under the age of 21.

To enforce these regulations, the bill outlines penalties for violations, with fines of up to $1,000 for first offenses and up to $2,000 for subsequent offenses. It also provides a defense for retailers who can demonstrate that they relied in good faith on the representations of manufacturers or distributors. The Secretary of Agriculture is tasked with adopting rules and regulations to effectively administer the act. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance consumer safety and ensure the integrity of kratom products available in the market.
