Creates "New Jersey Kratom Consumer Protection Act."
This bill establishes New Jersey's first comprehensive regulations for kratom products. It requires retailers to label products with specific alkaloid content (mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine), bans sales of kratom contaminated with dangerous substances or synthetic compounds, and prohibits sales to anyone under 21. Retailers must verify age using ID scans at point-of-sale and display a required warning sign. Violations could result in civil penalties up to $1,000 per offense. The law directly affects kratom retailers and consumers by setting safety standards and age restrictions.
