An Act concerning the regulation of kratom

This bill regulates the sale and distribution of kratom products in Massachusetts by requiring retailers to follow specific safety and labeling rules. It directly affects businesses that sell kratom, mandating that products include clear ingredient lists, manufacturer information, and usage directions on their labels. The law also prohibits retailers from selling products adulterated with dangerous substances, contaminated with controlled substances, or containing synthetic alkaloids, while banning sales to anyone under 18 years old. Retailers who violate these rules face administrative fines, with higher penalties for selling to minors, and the Department of Public Health is tasked with creating additional regulations for enforcement.
