Illinois lawmakers are moving forward with a public hearing on the “Kratom Consumer Protection Act,” a bill aimed at regulating the distribution and sale of kratom products. Introduced by Representative Curtis Tarver, House Bill 1303 proposes several key measures, including prohibiting kratom sales to individuals under 21 and banning products attractive to children. The bill also prohibits the sale of kratom products containing synthesized alkaloids and introduces a statewide 5% retail tax. Violations could result in fines up to $20,000.
