Bill Summary
An Act to ban kratom and kratom products and to provide a penalty therefor.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to ban kratom and kratom products in South Dakota, making it a Class 2 misdemeanor, which is a minor criminal offense, to sell, distribute, purchase, consume, or possess kratom or products containing synthetic mitragynine or 7-hydroxymitragynine. The bill also repeals existing laws that previously regulated kratom products, including prohibitions on selling to individuals under twenty-one, and restrictions on the potency and labeling of kratom products, such as limits on synthetic compounds, poisonous substances, and required warning statements. The intent is to create a comprehensive ban on kratom and related substances.
