Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to food and drugs; regulating the sale, testing and use of kratom products as specified; authorizing the department of health and local law enforcement to enforce compliance with kratom product regulation as specified; providing definitions; providing criminal penalties; providing appropriations; authorizing full-time positions; and providing for effective dates.
AI Summary
This bill establishes regulations for kratom products in Wyoming, defining terms like "adulterated" (meaning a controlled substance or synthesized alkaloid has been added), "kratom leaf" (the leaf of the *Mitragyna speciosa* plant), and "kratom product" (any food or dietary supplement containing kratom leaf, extract, or related compounds, excluding synthesized alkaloids). It prohibits the sale of adulterated kratom products, those sold to individuals under 21, products with excessive levels of certain compounds like 7-hydroxymitragynine, or those packaged to appeal to children or intended for vaporization. Retailers must clearly label products with ingredient lists, warnings against use by pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, advice to consult a healthcare provider, and statements about potential habit-forming properties and drug interactions, along with FDA disclaimers and directions for safe use. The bill also mandates that the Department of Health, in conjunction with local law enforcement, will oversee compliance, with the state chemist authorized to test products. Violations are considered misdemeanors, punishable by fines or imprisonment, and repeated offenses by retailers can lead to injunctions prohibiting sales. The bill also appropriates funds for the Department of Health and the Department of Agriculture to implement these regulations, including hiring staff for testing and purchasing equipment, with specific effective dates for its provisions.
