Bill > S1418

This bill establishes the Idaho Kratom Consumer Protection and Safety Act to regulate the sale of kratom, a plant product used by adults for various personal purposes, by preventing the sale of unsafe, adulterated, or synthetic products while preserving adult access to natural kratom. The act defines "adulterated kratom product" as one containing synthetic materials, artificially increased levels of 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH) above specific thresholds, heavy metals exceeding federal limits, harmful contaminants like salmonella or E. coli, or any controlled substance. It prohibits processors and retailers from selling adulterated products, adding substances to increase 7-OH potency, selling synthetic products misrepresented as kratom, or mislabeling alkaloid content. The bill also sets an age restriction, prohibiting the sale of kratom to individuals under 21 years of age, and outlines specific labeling requirements for kratom products, including ingredient lists, directions for use, and warnings about FDA evaluation, potential interactions, and habit-forming properties. The Idaho Department of Agriculture and the Idaho State Police are tasked with enforcing the act, with penalties including civil fines and potential injunctions for repeated violations. The act aims to be fiscally neutral and preempts any local regulations that are inconsistent with its provisions.
