Federal Kratom Consumer Protection Act

HR 5905, the Federal Kratom Consumer Protection Act, prevents the FDA from imposing stricter regulations on kratom products currently sold as food or dietary supplements. The bill requires the FDA to hold a public hearing on kratom research within 90 days of enactment, establish a 2-year task force to coordinate federal kratom research, and publish all findings online. It specifically blocks the FDA from treating kratom as a "new dietary ingredient" or adulterated product, maintaining its current regulatory status under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The bill directly affects kratom manufacturers, sellers, and consumers by preserving their ability to market products under existing food/supplement rules.
