An act relating to the regulation of kratom products

This bill, S 121 (Kratom Consumer Protection Act), requires all kratom product processors and distributors in Vermont to register with the Department of Health and comply with specific safety and labeling rules. It prohibits kratom products containing dangerous substances, synthesized materials, or child-attractive packaging, and mandates independent lab testing for safety. All kratom products must display clear labels warning against use by those under 21, pregnant/breastfeeding individuals, and stating kratom may be habit-forming, alongside FDA disclaimers and usage instructions. The law directly affects businesses selling kratom products in Vermont, requiring annual registration, safety verification, and public disclosure of approved products via a Department of Health registry. The bill is currently pending referral to the Health and Welfare Committee.
