AI Summary

This bill amends Florida's Kratom Consumer Protection Act. It defines "kratom extract" and "processor" (a person who sells, prepares, manufactures, distributes, or maintains kratom products). The bill prohibits processors from selling, preparing, distributing, or exposing for sale kratom products that lack directions for safe and effective use or make medical claims. It also prohibits processors from selling kratom products to individuals under 21 years of age. Processors who violate these provisions are subject to administrative fines, instead of criminal penalties as under the previous law. The bill also requires the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services to adopt rules to administer the act, which will take effect on July 1, 2024.
