Bill > SB183

This bill modifies the definitions in the Oklahoma Kratom Consumer Protection Act, primarily focusing on clarifying and expanding terms related to kratom products. The bill provides more precise definitions for "kratom leaf," specifying that it must be from the Mitragyna speciosa plant and have a total alkaloid content not exceeding 3.5% when dried. It also defines "kratom leaf extract" as a material extracted using specific solvents like water, ethanol, or food-grade carbon dioxide, with mitragynine as the most abundant alkaloid. The definition of "kratom product" is updated to explicitly exclude synthesized kratom alkaloids and limit 7-hydroxymitragynine to 1% of total kratom alkaloids. The bill also expands the definition of "vendor" to include more explicitly "a person or entity" that sells, prepares, or maintains kratom products, broadening the scope of businesses covered by the act. Additionally, the bill clarifies that "synthesized" refers to substances produced through directed synthetic or biosynthetic chemistry, distinguishing them from traditional food preparation techniques. The changes will become effective on November 1, 2025, providing clarity and regulatory guidance for kratom-related businesses and consumers in Oklahoma.
