AN ACT PROHIBITING SALES OF KRATOM PRODUCTS TO INDIVIDUALS UNDER TWENTY-ONE YEARS OF AGE.

HB 5427 would prohibit the sale of kratom products to anyone under 21 years of age. This law directly affects retailers and vendors selling kratom, requiring them to verify customer age and refuse sales to those under 21. The key provision amends state statutes to establish a minimum age of 21 for purchasing kratom, aligning with existing restrictions for alcohol and tobacco. The bill aims to prevent underage access to kratom products through this clear age restriction.
