The bill amends Section 21-28.12-4 of the Rhode Island Kratom Act, which will take effect on April 1, 2026. It establishes age restrictions for the sale of kratom products, prohibiting distribution, sale, transfer, or advertisement to individuals under the age of twenty-one. Additionally, it mandates that all kratom products be kept behind the sales counter and within a locked case, which would only be accessible to store employees until the kratom product is sold.
