SB 557 (2026)
Make synthetic kratom illegal, change voting method for adopting SB 2 town meetings
This bill did not become law.
Regulates the manufacturing, labeling, and sale of kratom products and prohibits their sale to individuals under 21 years of age.
The Senate rewrote the bill to instead make synthetic and semisynthetic kratom illegal, with exceptions for scientific research. They also added the substance of the bill to HB 1423.
The House also rewrote the bill. Their version of the bill makes it illegal for liquor commission licensees to sell or possess kratom products. The House version of the bill also requires that the question of adopting or rescinding the "official ballot referendum" (SB 2) form of town meeting be voted on by official ballot with polling hours, rather than by a ballot vote during the meeting (similar to HB 1131).
The House and Senate must agree on a final version of the bill.
