This bill amends the Controlled Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act to introduce specific prohibitions and penalties related to the preparation, manufacture, sale, or distribution of kratom products to minors. It establishes criteria under which such actions are considered illegal, including the mixing of kratom with harmful non-kratom substances, the presence of poisonous ingredients, excessive levels of residual solvents, and inadequate labeling for safe use. Additionally, it defines key terms such as "kratom product," "kratom extract," "processor," and "retailer" to clarify the scope of the law.

The bill also outlines penalties for violations, categorizing them based on whether the offender is a processor or not. A processor who knowingly or intentionally violates the new provisions will be guilty of a first-degree misdemeanor, while others will face a second-degree misdemeanor. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
