This bill mandates a legislative management study to explore the potential uses of kratom and the establishment of regulations governing its use in North Dakota. The study will take place during the 2025-26 interim and will focus on various aspects of kratom, including its production, manufacturing, distribution, and retail sale.
At the conclusion of the study, the legislative management is required to report its findings and recommendations to the seventieth legislative assembly, along with any proposed legislation necessary to implement those recommendations. This initiative aims to assess the implications of kratom use and ensure appropriate regulatory measures are in place.
