Interim study on the effects and regulation of kratom

HJ 60 is a joint resolution requesting an interim committee study on kratom's effects and potential regulation in Montana. It directs the committee to investigate kratom's health benefits and risks, distribution methods in Montana, federal and other states' policies, and current state agency powers related to kratom. The study, required to conclude by September 2026, will examine kratom's use, health impacts, and regulatory approaches before making recommendations. This resolution does not create new laws or regulations but seeks information to inform future decisions.
