 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. SKOUFIS -- read twice and ordered printed, and when

 AN ACT to amend the general business law, relating to regulating the
 sale of kratom products

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The general business law is amended by adding a new section
 2 398-g to read as follows:
 3 § 398-g. Kratom package labeling. 1. For the purposes of this section,
 4 the following terms shall have the following meanings:
 5 (a) "Kratom" means both Mitragyna speciosa, a tree native to Southeast
 6 Asia, and the products derived from its leaves that are marketed as
 7 herbal supplements.
 8 (b) "All natural" means a product that contains no artificial ingredi-
 9 ents or added colors and is minimally processed.
 10 2. On each package of any kratom product sold or delivered by a
 11 manufacturer within this state on or after January first, two thousand
 12 twenty-six, there shall be printed thereon or attached thereto a warning
 13 of such product's lack of federal food and drug administration approval
 14 and such kratom products' known side effects. Such warning shall be in
 15 a font not less than twelve-point type and in a color in contrast with
 16 the package containing such kratom product, and shall contain the
 17 following statement:
 18 "WARNING
 19 This product has not been approved by the FDA. Side effects may include
 20 nausea, agitation, hallucinations, difficulty breathing, liver damage,
 21 and death"
 22 3. No kratom product shall be advertised as nor shall the packaging of
 23 such kratom product suggest, state, or imply that such kratom product is
 24 all natural.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
 LBD09239-03-5

 S. 8285 2

 2 civil penalty of not more than five hundred dollars for a first
 3 violation and not more than one thousand dollars for a second or subse-
 4 quent violation.
 5 § 2. This act shall take effect one year after it shall have become a
 6 law.
