HB0185

Prohibits the manufacture, sale, distribution, and possession of kratom products in Wyoming, with exemptions for research institutions and law.

The Wyoming Kratom Product Prohibition Act bans the manufacture, sale, distribution, and possession of kratom products, defined as any item containing the plant mitragyna speciosa or its concentrated alkaloids. Exemptions apply to research institutions and law enforcement or forensic laboratories conducting testing. Violators face misdemeanor penalties, with escalating fines and imprisonment for repeat offenses. The Department of Agriculture is tasked with implementing the act, including necessary rulemaking, and is allocated funds for testing and equipment.
