Bill > S1282

This bill establishes the Idaho Kratom Consumer Protection and Safety Act to regulate the sale of kratom, a plant used by adults for various personal purposes, by prohibiting the sale of "adulterated kratom products," which are defined as those containing synthetic materials, artificially increased levels of 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) beyond specific limits, heavy metals exceeding federal limits, harmful contaminants like salmonella or E. coli, or any controlled substances. The Act aims to ensure adult access to natural kratom while preventing the sale of unsafe products, and it explicitly states that regulation will be minimal, fiscally neutral, and will not involve licensing or registration fees, with the state legislature intending to exclusively regulate natural kratom products to prevent local governments from imposing inconsistent rules. It also mandates that kratom products sold in Idaho must be labeled with the processor's or retailer's information, a batch number, and a disclaimer that the product has not been evaluated by the FDA and is not intended to treat any disease, and prohibits sales to individuals under 18 years of age, with penalties for violations including civil fines.
