AI Summary
This bill establishes the Kratom Consumer Protection Act, which creates comprehensive regulations for kratom products in Illinois. The bill prohibits selling kratom to individuals under 21 years old, requires online retailers to implement age verification, and mandates that kratom products cannot contain more than 2% of 7-hydroxymitragynine in their alkaloid composition. It also prevents the sale of kratom products that are attractive to children, such as those shaped like cartoons or resembling candy, and bans products adulterated with dangerous non-kratom substances or synthesized kratom alkaloids. Manufacturers must comply with federal good manufacturing practices and be registered with the FDA. The bill imposes a 5% tax on retail kratom sales, requiring quarterly tax returns, and establishes strict penalties for violations, including civil fines ranging from $5,000 to $20,000 and potential prohibition from selling kratom in the state. Notably, the law limits home rule powers, meaning local jurisdictions cannot create their own kratom regulations, and it repeals the previous Kratom Control Act, centralizing kratom oversight at the state level.
