Bill > HB4930

This bill, titled the Protect Communities from Unregulated Substances Act, makes it illegal to dispense, distribute, manufacture, or sell kratom (a plant-based substance) or tianeptine (sometimes called "gas station heroin") products for human use unless they have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The bill declares that these substances pose serious public health risks and are not approved by the FDA for any medical use, citing concerns about their potential for harm, including severe symptoms and even death. Violators of this prohibition will face civil penalties of $10,000 per violation, and the Attorney General is authorized to enforce these provisions through civil lawsuits. The Act also includes definitions for "kratom," "kratom product," and "tianeptine product" to clarify what is covered, and states that if any part of the law is found invalid, the rest will remain in effect, and the law becomes effective immediately upon being signed.
