Commission approves committee to advise on kratom and related policy; first meeting Aug. 17
Summary
The commission approved a committee (referred to in the transcript as the 'Williams County Gradum Committee') charged with advising the board and supporting outreach; the initial meeting date was set for Aug. 17 and staff will return with a kratom retailer nominee.
County staff described a new advisory committee the board previously authorized and presented recommended members and timing. "The Williams County Gradum Committee that the board established at the previous commission meeting, with commissioner Anderson as chair," Lindsay said and noted the group will meet initially on Aug. 17.
Staff asked for the board's consensus and approval of the committee makeup; commissioners supported the proposal and voted to approve the committee and meeting date. Staff said they were still working to identify a kratom retailer to serve on the committee and will return with that nomination for approval when available.
The committee will collect information and provide feedback to the commission ahead of an upcoming special session of the state legislature. Staff noted recent state-level action (described in the transcript as a 30-day ban announced by the governor) that influenced the committee's scope and timing.
