Bill > SB5941

This bill establishes the Washington Kratom Consumer Protection Act, which regulates the production and sale of kratom products in the state. It defines key terms such as "kratom processor," "kratom product," and "retailer." The bill prohibits kratom processors from selling adulterated, contaminated, or synthetic kratom products, and from selling kratom products to individuals under 21 years of age. It also empowers the Department of Health to adopt rules for testing, labeling, and other aspects of kratom product safety and regulation. The bill establishes administrative fines for violations and provides a defense for retailers who rely in good faith on product representations. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2023.
