Senate Bill No. introduced by S. Novak aims to revise laws concerning intoxicating products intended for human consumption, specifically focusing on kratom. The bill establishes the "Kratom Consumer Protection Act," which prohibits the sale, distribution, or giving away of kratom products unless authorized by the act or other legislative statutes. It also sets the minimum age for purchasing kratom products at 21 years. The bill includes definitions for kratom, kratom extract, kratom processor, and kratom product, and outlines restrictions on kratom products, such as prohibiting those with high levels of 7-hydroxymitragynine, synthesized materials, or dangerous non-kratom substances.

Additionally, the bill provides exceptions for entities that offer fresh and non-synthesized kratom products, ensuring they cannot be prohibited by state or local governments. The legislation also includes provisions for the effective date of June 1, 2025. Overall, the bill seeks to regulate kratom products more strictly while allowing certain entities to operate under specific guidelines.
