Kratom Products Regulation Act

Current understanding

Michigan HB4969 would create a new act regulating the distribution, sale, and manufacturing of kratom products in Michigan. The bill has been introduced. Kratom vendors, manufacturers, and distributors would face new state-level compliance requirements, while consumers would gain product standards and oversight over an otherwise largely unregulated botanical substance.
