SB 48 Utah Senate · 2026 General Session

Kratom Revisions

SB 48 amends Utah's controlled substances laws to regulate specific kratom compounds. It designates 7-hydroxymitragynine (if exceeding 2% concentration) and Mitragynine pseudoindoxyl (including synthetics) as Schedule I controlled substances. The bill requires kratom processors to label products with mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine content and prohibits mixing kratom with harmful substances or selling unregistered products. Violations carry a class C misdemeanor penalty, directly affecting kratom businesses operating in Utah.
