Board orders review of synthetic drug ordinance; transcript flags unclear kratom-extract phrasing
Summary
Hillsborough County commissioners directed the county attorney to draft revisions to the synthetic drug ordinance that, as transcribed, would prohibit sale of a "7 0 h extract of kratom"; the meeting recap notes the kratom phrasing appears garbled and calls for clarification in staff follow-up.
Commissioners directed the county attorney's office to review the county's synthetic drug ordinance and bring back a draft revision that would prohibit the sale of what the transcript records as "7 0 h extract of kratom," county communications staff said.
The transcript's wording for the kratom extract appears to contain a transcription error; the board’s direction is recorded in the recap but no draft language, enforcement details, or timeline was provided. The county attorney's forthcoming review was directed to include any amendments necessary to effectively enforce such a prohibition.
