AI Summary
This bill establishes the Illinois Kratom Consumer Protection Act, which creates comprehensive regulations for kratom products in the state. The bill defines kratom as the Mitragyna speciosa plant and establishes strict guidelines for its production, distribution, and sale. Key provisions include prohibiting kratom products that contain dangerous substances, have high levels of certain alkaloids, or are attractive to children, and mandating detailed labeling requirements that include age restrictions, health warnings, and ingredient information. Manufacturers must register annually with the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, provide certification of product safety, and submit a certificate of analysis from an independent testing laboratory. The bill also sets enforcement mechanisms, including potential criminal penalties for violations such as selling to individuals under 21 or distributing products with controlled substances. Retailers are protected if they can demonstrate good-faith reliance on manufacturer representations, and the Department is authorized to adopt rules for implementation, with potential adjustments based on future federal regulations. The overarching goal is to ensure consumer safety by establishing clear standards for kratom product manufacturing, packaging, and distribution.
