The bill defines kratom leaf, kratom leaf extract, and kratom products, specifying precise requirements for alkaloid content and manufacturing processes. Vendors are prohibited from selling kratom products that are contaminated, contain synthesized alkaloids, exceed specific alkaloid thresholds, or are not registered with the Department of Revenue. The legislation mandates that all kratom products must be labeled with detailed information, including ingredients, alkaloid content, vendor information, allergen warnings, and consumption guidelines. Vendors are also forbidden from selling kratom products to individuals under 21 years old and must provide test results from a U.S.-based testing facility upon request.
