MODERATE

The bill was reformatted from an introduced version to a Senate Committee Substitute, which involved significant changes to the legal definitions and sales restrictions for kratom. The most critical substantive change is the modification of the 7-hydroxymitragynine concentration limit, which was raised from 2% of the alkaloid composition to a fixed threshold of 800 parts per million on a dry-weight basis. Additionally, the committee version added a new subsection to Section 196.1175 clarifying that the law does not prevent local governments from enacting stricter regulations or ordinances regarding kratom sales.

Scope change

The bill's scope regarding local government authority was expanded by explicitly allowing municipalities to impose stricter rules than those set by the state.

REQUIREMENT

The threshold for illegal 7-hydroxymitragynine concentration was changed from 'greater than two percent of the alkaloid composition' to 'above eight hundred parts per million on a dry-weight basis'.

A new provision was added to Section 196.1175 stating that the law does not prevent political subdivisions (like cities or counties) from enacting stricter ordinances or regulations regarding kratom sales.

DEFINITION

The text defining 'Semi-synthesized alkaloid' was restructured and slightly reworded, though the core meaning regarding chemical synthesis versus traditional preparation remains similar.

TECHNICAL

The bill underwent extensive formatting changes, including the addition of a 'Senate Committee Substitute' header and reorganization of line breaks and spacing.
