Bill > HB1076

This bill establishes the Kratom Consumer Protection Act, which creates comprehensive regulations for the sale and distribution of kratom products in Mississippi. 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. Additionally, vendors must register each kratom product annually, pay a registration fee, and submit a certificate of analysis. In the event of an adverse event related to a kratom product, processors are required to report the incident to both the Department of Revenue and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration via certified mail. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and aims to ensure consumer safety and product transparency in the sale of kratom products.
