The bill, known as the "Kratom Consumer Protection Act," establishes a regulatory framework for the sale and distribution of kratom products in Louisiana. It defines key terms related to kratom, including "kratom product," "processor," and "retailer," and sets forth specific criteria that kratom products must meet to be legally sold in the state. These criteria include prohibitions against adulteration with dangerous substances, limits on residual solvents, and restrictions on synthetic alkaloids. Additionally, the bill mandates that packaging for kratom products must include essential information such as serving sizes, manufacturer details, and a disclaimer regarding FDA evaluation.

The legislation also prohibits the sale of kratom products to individuals under the age of 21 and requires retailers to verify the age of purchasers. The commissioner of the Louisiana Office of Alcohol and Tobacco Control is tasked with conducting a feasibility study on the regulation of kratom products, processors, and retailers, with a report due by February 1, 2024. Furthermore, the bill allows for the seizure and destruction of non-compliant kratom products and states that the provisions will become void if the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration classifies mitragynine as a controlled substance. Local governments are permitted to enact stricter regulations than those outlined in the bill.
