Directs the commissioner of health to conduct a study on kratom use by humans

This bill requires New York's commissioner of health to conduct a study on human kratom use, examining potential health risks, benefits, and effects. The study must be completed within one year, after which the commissioner must submit a detailed report to the governor, legislative leaders, and the speaker of the assembly. The bill does not impose new regulations or restrictions but mandates a factual review of kratom's impacts. It directly affects the health department's responsibilities and provides a basis for future policy decisions.
