TO ESTABLISH THE ARKANSAS KRATOM CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT; AND TO REMOVE MITRAGYNINE AND 7-HYDROXYMITRAGYNINE, ALSO KNOWN AS KRATOM, FROM THE CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES LIST IN ARKANSAS.

Senate Bill 534 aimed to establish the Arkansas Kratom Consumer Protection Act, which would have regulated the sale and distribution of kratom products. The bill proposed removing mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine, commonly known as kratom, from Arkansas's controlled substances list. It also sought to protect consumers by prohibiting the sale of kratom products adulterated or contaminated with dangerous non-kratom substances. Additionally, it would have set specific limits on the concentration of 7-hydroxymitragynine in kratom products, affecting processors and retailers of these products.
