The Senate Appropriations Committee advanced House Bill 15‑66 on the regulation of kratom products after approving an amendment that sponsors said returns the measure to study rather than immediate regulatory enforcement.
Senator Magram, the committee member who described the bill to the panel, said the House initially converted the bill into a study; the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee later revived regulatory language and the human resources subdivision returned it to study. "The House decided to turn it into a study," Senator Magram said, describing the bill's path and the committee's concern that "nobody on the committee besides myself know anything about it."
