Plain-language summary
This bill changes how Kentucky regulates kratom products, specifically those with higher concentrations of a compound called 7-hydroxymitragynine. Under current law, kratom extracts with more than two percent of that compound are banned; this bill would lift that ban but require those higher-concentration products to follow labeling rules and state health department oversight, while prohibiting them from being marketed or labeled as kratom products. Who it may affect: people who use or sell kratom products, and retailers carrying kratom or related herbal supplements.
