• S-5215Strike everything · filed April 27, 2026 by Sen. Carrie Koelker (R)

  AI summary This amendment replaces the entire bill with a new version that regulates the sale, production, and distribution of kratom. It classifies certain highly concentrated or synthetic kratom compounds as controlled substances while exempting natural kratom leaf and traditional extracts. The new version also prohibits selling kratom to anyone under 21, bans products designed to be attractive to children, and establishes civil penalties for retailers or processors who violate these rules.
