Prohibits the sale of 7-hydroxymitragynine products

This New York bill prohibits the sale of products containing 7-hydroxymitragynine (a compound found in some kratom products) when concentrated above 400 parts per million. It directly affects businesses - including stores, online platforms, and other sellers - operating within New York State that sell such products. The law imposes civil fines of up to $3,000 for a first violation and $6,500 for repeat offenses, with collected funds directed to New York's drug treatment and public education programs. The bill defines prohibited products broadly to include any substance, extract, or finished good containing the compound at the specified level.
