Create the kratom consumer protection act
This bill creates the Kratom Consumer Protection Act to regulate the sale and distribution of kratom products in Montana by requiring businesses to register annually with the Department of Revenue and pay associated fees. It establishes safety standards that prohibit products containing high levels of 7-hydroxymitragynine, combustible forms, child-attractive packaging, or synthesized materials, while also banning dangerous additives and requiring clear labeling. The law applies to distributors, retailers, and food service establishments selling kratom products such as powders, capsules, pills, and beverages, but excludes products intended for vaporization or injection. Enforcement is handled by the Department of Revenue, with violations potentially resulting in misdemeanor or felony convictions depending on the severity of the violation.
