Floor (House) → Floor (Senate) · 3 edits

MINOR

The bill was revised to transition from the House version to the Senate floor version, primarily updating the header information and committee attribution while retaining the core text of the Oklahoma Kratom Consumer Protection Act. The substantive legal definitions, such as the 3.5% alkaloid limit and the ban on synthesized alkaloids, remain unchanged, though the Senate version includes a specific effective date of November 1, 2025, in Section 2.

DEFINITION

The header was updated to reflect the Senate floor version, changing the legislative body attribution and adding a specific date (February 10, 2025).

TIMELINE

Section 2 was modified to explicitly state that the act shall become effective on November 1, 2025.

TECHNICAL

Minor formatting adjustments were made to the page headers and footers to align with Senate procedural standards.

House Committee Substitute for Senate Bill → Floor (House) · 3 edits

MINOR

The bill was converted from a Senate Committee Substitute to the House Floor version, resulting in significant formatting and layout changes while retaining the core legislative text. The substantive policy content regarding kratom product definitions, labeling requirements, and vendor restrictions remains unchanged, as the text differences are primarily due to line breaks, spacing, and the removal of committee-specific tracking numbers.

TECHNICAL

The document header was updated to reflect the 'House of Representatives - Floor Version' status, indicating the bill has moved from committee review to the full House floor for voting.

Page numbers and internal committee tracking numbers (e.g., 'Req. No. 13586') were removed to prepare the text for final publication.

Line breaks and indentation were adjusted throughout the document to align with standard House formatting conventions, though the actual legal text of the definitions and regulations remains identical.

Proposed Policy Committee Substitute 1 → House Committee Substitute for Senate Bill · 4 edits

MODERATE

The House Committee Substitute replaces the original proposal to repeal the Oklahoma Kratom Consumer Protection Act with a revised version that retains and strengthens consumer protections. Key changes include stricter definitions for kratom products, a ban on synthesized alkaloids, and enhanced labeling requirements to ensure safety and prevent sales to minors.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains focused on regulating kratom products, but the applicability is now more restrictive by explicitly banning products containing synthesized alkaloids and those failing to meet specific alkaloid ratios.

DEFINITION

The definition of 'Kratom product' was updated to explicitly prohibit any synthesized kratom alkaloids, synthesized metabolites, or synthesized compounds of the kratom plant.

The definition of 'Kratom leaf extract' was refined to ensure the ratio of mitragynine to other alkaloids matches the starting material, preventing artificial manipulation of the product's chemical profile.

REQUIREMENT

Labeling requirements were expanded to mandate that the label clearly states the sale or transfer of kratom to anyone under 18 years of age is prohibited.

New requirements were added to ban the sale of kratom products contaminated with dangerous non-kratom substances or those containing residual solvents exceeding pharmaceutical safety limits.

Enrolled (final version) → Proposed Policy Committee Substitute 1 · 3 edits

MINOR

The bill was completely rewritten to remove all substantive policy provisions regarding kratom regulation. The original text, which defined legal standards for kratom products, prohibited certain ingredients, and mandated specific labeling, has been entirely deleted and replaced with a placeholder indicating that the Policy Committee has not yet drafted new language.

Scope change

The bill's scope has effectively been nullified because the entire measure is being replaced with empty text rather than new regulatory rules.

DEFINITION

All definitions for 'kratom leaf', 'kratom leaf extract', 'kratom product', and 'vendor' were removed.

REQUIREMENT

Requirements for independent testing, labeling, and prohibited ingredients were completely removed.

TECHNICAL

A procedural header indicating the bill is a 'Proposed Policy Committee Substitute' that deletes the entire measure and inserts no new language was added.

Engrossed → Enrolled (final version) · 5 edits · May 22, 2025

MODERATE

The bill was finalized as the Enrolled version, confirming it passed both legislative chambers. The substantive policy changes include adding a new section requiring vendors to provide test results from independent laboratories upon request, expanding the definition of vendors to include food and drink companies, and adding a prohibition on selling kratom products containing any synthesized alkaloids. Additionally, the bill now explicitly requires labels to list ingredients and specific alkaloid amounts, and mandates that liquid kratom products include calibrated measuring devices if they contain multiple servings.

Scope change

The scope of the bill was expanded to include 'food or drink companies' under the definition of a vendor, broadening the entities subject to labeling and testing requirements.

REQUIREMENT

Added a requirement for vendors to provide test results from independent testing laboratories when requested by consumers or authorities.

Added a specific prohibition against selling kratom products that contain any synthesized alkaloids, including synthesized mitragynine or 7-hydroxymitragynine.

Mandated that liquid kratom products containing more than three servings must be accompanied by a calibrated measuring device.

Required labels to explicitly state the amount of total kratom alkaloids, mitragynine, and 7-hydroxymitragynine contained in the product and its packaging.

DEFINITION

Expanded the definition of 'Vendor' to explicitly include food and drink companies, broadening the range of businesses subject to the act's regulations.

Amended And Engrossed → Engrossed · 4 edits · May 14, 2025

MODERATE

The bill was renumbered from an 'Engrossed House Amendment' to an 'Engrossed Senate Bill,' indicating it has been fully passed by both chambers. The substantive policy changes include expanding the bill to amend two separate sections of the law (1-1432.2 and 1-1432.4) instead of one, adding a new definition for 'Vendor' to include a broader range of businesses like restaurants and hotels, and updating the effective date to November 1, 2025. The core definitions for kratom products and alkaloid limits appear unchanged in this specific text diff.

Scope change

The bill's scope was expanded to include amendments to Section 1-1432.4 in addition to Section 1-1432.2, and the definition of 'Vendor' was broadened to include more types of establishments.

DEFINITION

Added a new definition for 'Vendor' that expands the list of covered businesses to include restaurants, hotels, catering facilities, camps, bakeries, delicatessens, supermarkets, grocery stores, convenience stores, nursing homes, and food or drink companies.

SCOPE

The bill now amends two statutory sections (1-1432.2 and 1-1432.4) rather than just one, suggesting the text includes provisions for vendor prohibitions and labeling that were previously separate or incomplete in the earlier version.

TIMELINE

The effective date for the new regulations was set to November 1, 2025.

TECHNICAL

The document title was changed from 'Engrossed House Amendment' to 'Engrossed Senate Bill,' reflecting its final status after passing both legislative chambers.

Introduced → Amended And Engrossed · 4 edits · May 14, 2025

MODERATE

The bill was amended to expand its scope by adding a new section that amends 63 O.S. 2021, Section 1-1432.4, in addition to the existing amendment of Section 1-1432.2. This change introduces stricter prohibitions for vendors, requiring them to exclude products with excessive 7-hydroxymitragynine, synthesized alkaloids, or unsafe contaminants. Additionally, the bill now mandates that vendors provide test results from independent, nationally accredited laboratories upon request and requires specific labeling information.

Scope change

The bill's scope expanded from modifying only one section of the Kratom Consumer Protection Act to modifying two sections, thereby adding new vendor obligations and prohibitions regarding product safety and testing transparency.
