The proposed bill, titled the "Kratom Consumer Protection and Regulatory Act," aims to regulate the distribution, sale, and manufacture of kratom products in Michigan. It establishes a licensing requirement for individuals and businesses involved in these activities, effective January 1, 2027. Applicants must submit detailed information, including personal identification, business addresses, and a certificate of analysis confirming the safety of the kratom products. The bill also mandates that kratom products be labeled with specific health warnings and alkaloid content, and prohibits the sale of adulterated or contaminated products, as well as those containing synthetic alkaloids or exceeding certain levels of 7-hydroxymitragynine.

Additionally, the bill imposes penalties for violations, including administrative fines and potential license revocation. It restricts sales to individuals under 21 years of age and requires that all kratom products sold online comply with the established safety standards. The Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs is tasked with overseeing the implementation of the act, including the promulgation of necessary rules by January 1, 2028. The bill aims to ensure consumer safety while regulating the kratom market in Michigan.
