Illinois lawmakers have scheduled a public hearing to discuss the “Kratom Consumer Protection Act,” a bill designed to regulate kratom products in the state. The proposed legislation, introduced by Representative Curtis Tarver, includes several key provisions. It would prohibit the sale of kratom to individuals under 21 and ban products that are appealing to children. Additionally, the bill would outlaw the sale of kratom products containing synthesized alkaloids and impose a 5% retail tax statewide. Violations could result in fines of up to $20,000.
