Removed Section 2 which required kratom products to include specific labeling information including ingredient lists, age warnings, alkaloid content, vendor contact information, and allergen disclosures.

DEFINITION

This bill was completely rewritten by the House Policy Committee, replacing the original Senate version with a new text that maintains most of the same regulatory framework for kratom products but removes certain packaging requirements and updates the effective date provision. The substantive policy content regarding definitions, prohibited substances, and labeling requirements remains largely consistent between versions.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains unchanged as it continues to regulate kratom products under the Oklahoma Kratom Consumer Protection Act with the same core prohibitions and requirements.

REQUIREMENT

Removed specific packaging requirements for liquid kratom products, including the requirement for calibrated measuring devices in containers under 8 fluid ounces that contain more than three servings.

Removed the labeling requirement that specifies the amount of total kratom alkaloids, mitragynine, and 7-hydroxymitragynine contained in the product packaging.

TECHNICAL

Changed the bill header from 'An Act' to 'SB891 POLPCS1' and added committee amendment metadata including the date 4/7/2025 and House of Representatives designation.

Updated the bill summary to reflect that certain packaging and labeling requirements are being removed rather than modified, and changed 'directing vendors to provide test results' to 'updating statutory reference'.
