AI Summary

This bill: 1. Revises the definition of "kratom product" to mean food containing any part of the leaf of the Mitragyna Speciosa plant or an extract thereof. 2. Prohibits the sale or offering to sell of any kratom product to an end user unless the product has been registered with the Division of Public and Behavioral Health (Division).
