Bill > SB072

This bill, named the "Daniel Bregger Act", provides comprehensive regulations for kratom products in Colorado, establishing strict guidelines for their manufacture, sale, and distribution. The bill defines key terms such as "kratom leaf" (the leaf of the Mitragyna Speciosa plant), "kratom product" (a food or dietary supplement containing kratom), and introduces restrictions on product composition and marketing. Specifically, it prohibits selling kratom products that are adulterated (containing controlled substances or synthesized alkaloids), have more than 2% 7-hydroxymitragynine, are appealing to children, or are intended for vaporization or combustion. The bill mandates detailed labeling requirements, including ingredient lists, health warnings, age restrictions, and usage directions. Vendors must not sell kratom to individuals under 21, display products where minors can access them, or create products with synthesized alkaloids. Violations of these regulations are considered deceptive trade practices. The bill also updates the legal definition of kratom products in existing Colorado statutes and applies to all conduct occurring on or after its effective date, with the stated purpose of preserving public health and safety.
