Bill > HB2850

This bill, known as the "Kratom Consumer Protection Act," establishes new regulations for the sale of kratom products in Missouri. It defines "dealer" as anyone who sells, prepares, or advertises kratom, and "kratom" as any product containing parts of the Mitragyna speciosa plant. The bill asserts that the state government exclusively regulates kratom, making any local ordinances void. Dealers must disclose the factual basis for any claims made about their kratom products. Furthermore, dealers are prohibited from selling kratom that is adulterated or contaminated with dangerous non-kratom substances, contains more than two percent 7-hydroxymitragynine in its alkaloid composition, includes synthetic alkaloids, or lacks labeling for mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine content. Selling kratom to individuals under eighteen years old is also forbidden. Violations of disclosure requirements are infractions, while selling prohibited kratom or to minors are class D misdemeanors. Consumers can pursue private legal action for damages resulting from violations of disclosure or product safety rules, with a defense available if the dealer acted in good faith based on manufacturer representations.
