Creates new provisions relating to the sale of kratom products
HB 2850 regulates the sale of kratom products by requiring retailers to label the levels of key alkaloids (mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine) and prohibiting sales of adulterated, contaminated, or mislabeled kratom. It bans kratom containing more than 2% of the alkaloid 7-hydroxymitragynine, synthetic compounds, or harmful additives, and prohibits sales to anyone under 18. The bill preempts all local government regulations on kratom, making state law the sole governing standard. Violations of labeling or safety rules can result in fines or misdemeanor charges for retailers.
