An act relating to the regulation of kratom products

This bill, known as the Kratom Consumer Protection Act, would regulate kratom products in Vermont by establishing labeling requirements and an age restriction. It directly affects processors and retailers who sell kratom, requiring them to label products with specific alkaloid content and prohibiting sales to anyone under 18 years old. The legislation mandates that kratom products be tested by independent laboratories, prohibits the sale of products containing dangerous contaminants or synthetic alkaloids, and requires annual registration fees for processors. Additionally, the bill removes kratom from the state's list of regulated drugs, clarifying its legal status while implementing consumer safety measures.
