UT SB0045

Kratom retail sales restricted exclusively to licensed retail tobacco specialty businesses, with both kratom processors and retailers required to register with the Department of Agriculture and Food

Only "pure leaf kratom" may be sold at retail in Utah, defined as identifiable plant matter (or plant matter in inert capsules) containing no kratom extracts and no more than 0.4% 7-hydroxymitragynine of total alkaloid composition

Minimum purchase age raised from 18 to 21 years old, with violations escalating from a class B misdemeanor (first offense) to class A misdemeanor (second) to third-degree felony (subsequent)

7-hydroxymitragynine exceeding 0.4% concentration and Mitragynine pseudoindoxyl (including synthetic versions) added to Schedule I controlled substances, with an exemption for compliant pure leaf kratom products

Administrative fines increased to up to $5,000 for labeling violations, selling unregistered products, or operating without proper registration; processors have until March 6, 2027 to sell non-pure-leaf products manufactured for out-of-state markets
