A 1188 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Creates "New Jersey Kratom Protection Act."

This bill creates the "New Jersey Kratom Consumer Protection Act" to regulate kratom products, directly affecting retailers and consumers. It bans sales to anyone under 21 (requiring ID verification via transaction scans), prohibits products with harmful substances or synthetic alkaloids, and limits 7-hydroxymitragynine to under 2% of alkaloid content. Retailers must label products with mitragynine/7-hydroxymitragynine levels and serving directions. Violations incur fines ($500 first offense, $1,000 second) or 3-year sales bans for repeat offenses, with the Department of Health overseeing registration and safety standards.
