Senate approves Kratom Consumer Protection Act requiring lab testing and labeling
Summary
The Senate passed a first-substitute of SB 58, the Kratom Consumer Protection Act, which requires kratom products in their pure form to be lab tested, certified and labeled before sale. The bill passed 24–1 and will be transmitted to the House.
Senator Bramble introduced first substitute Senate Bill 58, titled the Kratom Consumer Protection Act, saying the measure requires kratom in its pure form to be lab-tested, certified and labeled before it can be sold to consumers. "This is called the Kratom Consumer Protection Act because it requires, kratom, in its pure form to be lab tested, certified, and labeled before it's sold to consumers," the sponsor told the Senate.
After brief floor discussion and no additional questions from members, the Senate proceeded to a roll-call vote. The chamber recorded first substitute SB 58 as passing with 24 yay votes, 1 nay vote and 4 absent. The bill will be sent to the House for further consideration.
The text of the floor exchange indicates the bill imposes labeling and testing requirements meant to standardize consumer protections for kratom products sold in Utah. Implementation details such as the responsible testing standards and monitoring or enforcement mechanisms will be determined through the bill’s statutory language and administrative implementation after transmittal to the House.
