Bill > SB2417

This bill, known as the "Tennessee Kratom Consumer Protection Act," establishes regulations for the sale and distribution of Kratom products, which are defined as food products or dietary ingredients containing any part of the mitragyna speciosa plant or its extracts. The act prohibits processors and retailers from selling Kratom products that contain excessive levels of certain alkaloids like 7-hydroxymitragynine, synthetic alkaloids, or residual solvents, and mandates that all Kratom products must be accompanied by a certificate of analysis (COA) from a third-party laboratory confirming their safety and compliance with specific standards for contaminants like salmonella, E. coli, and heavy metals. Furthermore, products must be clearly labeled with usage instructions, ingredient lists, warnings for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, a statement that Kratom use may be habit-forming, and a disclaimer that the product has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. The bill also makes it illegal to sell or purchase Kratom products to or by individuals under 21 years of age, with violations carrying misdemeanor penalties, and grants the alcoholic beverage commission the authority to demand COAs and conduct independent testing, with non-compliance leading to stop sales orders.
