HB 1037 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Creates new provisions relating to the sale of kratom products

HB 1037 regulates kratom sales by requiring dealers (including stores, restaurants, and manufacturers) to disclose factual claims about kratom products. It bans selling kratom adulterated with dangerous substances, contaminated with harmful ingredients, containing over 2% 7-hydroxymitragynine, or including synthetic alkaloids. The bill mandates clear labeling of mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine content and prohibits sales to anyone under 21. Violations result in penalties ranging from infractions to class D misdemeanors, with private lawsuits allowed for harmed consumers.
