Bill > A09472

This bill prohibits the sale of kratom, defined as any part of the plant Mitragyna speciosa or its synthesized compounds, to individuals under the age of twenty-one, and imposes a civil penalty of up to five hundred dollars for violations, while also prohibiting the resale or dissemination of information gathered from transaction scans used to verify age, with a separate civil penalty of up to one thousand dollars for such misuse of data. The bill also repeals previous provisions related to kratom studies and amends the effective date of a related 2025 law concerning kratom sales to minors, ensuring that the new regulations take effect 180 days after becoming law, aligning with the previously established date for the prohibition of kratom sales to those under twenty-one.
