Bill Summary

A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to the Uniform Controlled Substances Act; to amend section 28-401, Revised Statutes Cumulative Supplement, 2022, and section 28-405, Revised Statutes Supplement, 2023; to prohibit kratom as a controlled substance; to define a term; and to repeal the original sections.

AI Summary

This bill prohibits kratom as a controlled substance. Specifically, the bill amends the definition of controlled substances in the Uniform Controlled Substances Act to include any product or ingredient containing: (a) any part of the leaf of the mitragyna speciosa plant if the plant contains the alkaloid mitragynine or 7-hydroxymitragynine; or (b) a synthetic material that contains the alkaloid mitragynine or 7-hydroxymitragynine. This would make kratom, a substance derived from the mitragyna speciosa plant, a controlled substance in the state of Nebraska.
