5 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 2 mixed.
Retailers face new kratom sales limits
Beginning July 1, 2026, Wyoming bans kratom sales to anyone under 21 and displays or storage they can access. The law bans adulterated products, synthetic or partly synthetic alkaloids, and products exceeding 2% 7-hydroxymitragynine in the alkaloid portion. It also bans candy-like or child-appealing products, marketing aimed at minors, and products for burning or vaping. These restrictions cover specified sales, advertising, distribution, manufacturing, packaging, and labeling activities; the listed criminal offenses require knowing conduct. Violations carry up to one year in jail, a fine up to $1,000, or both.
Kratom buyers get required safety labels
Beginning July 1, 2026, kratom packages must clearly list all ingredients and the manufacturer's or distributor's business name and address. Labels must give directions, serving recommendations, and amounts of mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine per serving. Warnings must advise against use by people under 21 or during pregnancy or breastfeeding, and keeping products within children's reach. Labels must advise consulting a health care provider, warn of medication interactions, and state that the FDA has not evaluated disease-treatment claims. Knowingly handling products without required labels carries up to one year in jail, a $1,000 fine, or both.
Kratom retailers get limited penalty relief
Beginning July 1, 2026, retailers have a defense against prosecution when they reasonably rely on an ID stating the buyer is over 21. A retailer's first offense in any 24-month period carries no fine if the retailer demonstrates all four required steps. It must maintain and enforce a written underage-sales policy, inform employees of applicable laws, require photo-ID or electronic age checks, and impose discipline for noncompliance. The relief does not change the age limit or remove other possible consequences.
Wyoming funds kratom testing and enforcement
Beginning July 1, 2026, the state chemist must test kratom when health officials or law enforcement request adulteration and ingredient checks. For July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2028, the health department receives $115,000 only to carry out the law. Agriculture receives $197,540 only for one authorized full-time testing employee's salary and benefits, plus $24,000 only for needed testing equipment. Funding comes from opioid settlement money distributed to the health department when available, otherwise from the general fund; unspent money returns to its source. The appropriations must enter the departments' next budget cycles, and both departments must issue implementation rules under rulemaking authority effective upon enactment.
Kratom stores face inspections and shutdowns
Beginning July 1, 2026, the health department leads enforcement and can fund qualified local agencies for random, unannounced inspections. Participants under 21 need written consent; minors need parental or guardian consent, including notice that court testimony may be required. Participants must give their true age when asked, cannot be made to look older, and minors and parents cannot be coerced. Inspectors must photograph participants beforehand, retain photos, and stay within sight or sound. Businesses receive immediate written notice and a report completed within two days; inspectors must request citations for illegal under-21 sales. After a third or later violation within two years, health officials or a county district attorney can seek a court order. If the court finds violations may continue, it can stop kratom sales at the offending establishment for up to 180 days.
