Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

4 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

Health Department leads inspections and testing

The Department of Health leads kratom enforcement starting July 1, 2026. It can fund or contract with local police for random, unannounced checks. Officers may use people under 21 only with written consent, and a parent’s consent for minors. Test buyers must tell the truth about age and not try to look older. Inspectors must stay within sight or sound, give the store written notice right away, and file a report within two days, with a copy to the store. The inspector must also take a photo of the test buyer right before the visit. The state chemist tests products on request to check labels, adulteration, and alkaloid limits.

Funding and start dates for kratom rules

Agencies move now to set up the rules. Rulemaking starts immediately. Most other parts start July 1, 2026. The law gives the Health Department $115,000 for July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2028. It gives Agriculture $197,540 for one full‑time tester and $24,000 for testing equipment for the same period. Money comes from opioid settlement funds, or the general fund if needed. Unused funds revert on June 30, 2028.

Penalties and safe harbors for kratom sellers

Breaking the kratom rules is a misdemeanor. Penalties can be up to 1 year in jail, a fine up to $1,000, or both. After a third violation within two years, a court can block all kratom sales at that store for up to 180 days. Retailers get protections too. If a clerk reasonably relies on an ID showing 21+, that is a legal defense. A retailer also avoids a fine for the first offense in any 24 months if it has a written no‑sales‑to‑under‑21 policy, trains staff, checks photo ID or scans IDs, and disciplines violators. These terms apply starting July 1, 2026.

New age and product rules for kratom

Starting July 1, 2026, kratom sales follow strict rules. No sales to anyone under 21, and stores must keep products out of reach of under‑21 customers. Products cannot be candy‑like or made for smoking or vaping. Packages must list maker address, ingredients, serving size, max servings in 24 hours, and the amounts of mitragynine and 7‑hydroxymitragynine per serving. Products with more than 2% 7‑hydroxymitragynine are banned. Sellers may not give minors products with synthetic or semi‑synthetic kratom alkaloids. The law defines what counts as a kratom product and who is covered.
