Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
8 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 4 costs, 2 mixed.
Fees and $5,000 fines for kratom/cannabinoid
Beginning January 1, 2027, the Department may charge product registration fees for cannabinoid and kratom products through January 1, 2029. A product must be registered; selling an unregistered cannabinoid or kratom product can lead to an administrative fine up to $5,000 per violation. The Department may assess fines against anyone offering unregistered kratom products and may take administrative action. It may also seize and destroy unregistered kratom products offered for sale.
License required to sell cannabinoid/kratom
Starting January 1, 2027, retailers must hold a fixed‑location license to sell cannabinoid or kratom products. The license covers one business address, lasts three years, and can be renewed. The state may charge a $50 fee to issue or renew. Selling without a license is a class B misdemeanor and carries a $1,000 administrative fine per violation. These rules apply to products defined in law as cannabinoid or kratom products.
Stronger safety rules for cannabinoid products
Starting January 1, 2027, the Department sets safety testing, labeling, and manufacturing standards for registered cannabinoid products. Processors must pay for department testing. For non‑oil products with discrete units, serving size cannot be smaller than one full unit. The Department can immediately ban or limit a substance after a public health recommendation. The Department cannot ban a sugar coating used to mask taste, but it may still limit products that entice children or fail safety rules.
Tax data sharing for scholarships with consent
Beginning January 1, 2027, if you give written consent, the Tax Commission may share your state income tax information with the Utah Fits All Scholarship Program manager. Your consent must include your name, Social Security number, and any other ID details the Commission requests. This helps the program verify eligibility.
Tax data sharing to run programs
Beginning January 1, 2027, the Tax Commission provides the Department of Workforce Services the information named in law to help run programs. The Commission may share combined, non‑identifying tax data with the Utah Population Committee when requested under law. The Commission may share payment and bank details with the Division of Finance to deliver payments to taxpayers. These steps improve verifications and help payments arrive faster.
5.3% tax on cannabinoid and kratom
Beginning January 1, 2027, cannabinoid and kratom products are taxed at 5.3% of the retail price. Retailers must collect the tax at the time of sale. If an item comes into Utah untaxed, the buyer must pay the tax when first receiving it in Utah. A seller outside Utah may choose not to collect only if it is outside Utah and is not required to collect Utah sales tax under state law.
More enforcement data sharing on cannabinoid/kratom
Beginning January 1, 2027, the Tax Commission may share specialized‑product return data with the Department of Agriculture and Food. If the Commission suspects a sale that breaks laws outside Chapter 31, it must report the seller’s name, tax ID, and the product to the Department within 30 days. The Department must share information it has about kratom sellers with the Commission on request. These steps increase oversight of specialized‑product sellers.
Specialized‑product tax money and admin charge
Starting January 1, 2027, revenue from the specialized‑product tax goes into a restricted account for enforcement, investigations, and the Industrial Hemp Grant Program, as appropriated. The Tax Commission may keep an administrative charge from these revenues, up to 1.5% or a uniform rate needed to cover costs. This changes where the money is held and how administration is paid for; it does not change the tax rate.
